This part takes place sometime before the beginning of the Fedex Story.

I looked across the table and met her eyes. Her. Linh. She looked like she'd just been laughing at someone's joke, face pulled into a smile, before she looked at me and her expression changed. Oh no. Had I been staring too long? Ugh, of course I had. Now she would probably think I was some sort of creep. She held my gaze, though, and her face seemed to change again. It seemed to... glow? No. I must've been imagining it. No one would be that happy to see me.

Suddenly, my face started to feel hot - and I knew immediately that it wasn't because of my ability. I looked away quickly and hid my face as I walked out of the cafeteria, mumbling some totally believable excuse to my friends. I had to get out of there. No one could know. No one could know about my crush on Linh.
