"Hey Lil?"
"Sup?" Liliana asked through a bite of ice cream. We'd been watching movies and eating junk food all day and now we were on the Cherry Garcia ice cream.
"What exactly can you do?"
"What?" she asked with a confused expression.
"You're protector powers. What are they?"
"Oh..." She put down the ice cream and pressed pause on Indiana Jones. "You realize the whole point in me coming over here was to get your mind off all that stuff right!?"
I winced at her sudden anger. "I'm sorry, it's just something that occurred to me...sorry..." I picked up the remote and pressed play again. We sat there in silence for a few seconds until Liliana pressed pause again.
"I can read minds, see the future, and move things without touching them."
"For how long?"
"Few years."
"Oh wow..."
"Yep," she said as she pressed play again. We watched for nearly a minute when i pressed pause again.
"Wait! So when you got that A on that pop quiz that EVERYBODY ELSE failed in chemistry-"
"Hey, that's not fair! The answers happened to be in my vision that morning!"
"Lil!!"
"Sorryyyyyy!"
Finally, for the first time in a week, I laughed a true, full-hearted laugh, and it felt good!
Maybe this is possible...
Maybe.
