lily had known on that god foresaken day that the tornado was no joke. she knew that if something were to go wrong, it would happen to her of all people so it was no suprise that what they thought would be the coolest experience of their lives would...
☆ LILY GOT WOKEN up by her brother early the next morning telling her they were leaving within the hour. She took her time getting ready since she had a lot of it to pass by, doing minimal makeup and putting on a black short sleeve body suit with a pair of blue ripped jeans shorts. Topping it off with a pair of brown cowboy boots she had found stuffed in the back of her closet back home that she brought with her, from when she used to live here. She unplugged her phone from it's charger and grabbed her wallet and a claw clip before heading out of the room.
She walked down the flight of stairs, seeing Kate looking off into the distance. Lily went and stood next to the girl who motioned to the clouds above, Lily understood what she meant by it and started observing them herself. Kate soon turned her head and walked away, leaving Lily by herself trying to piece together everything about the clouds. She wasn't as good as Kate was yet, so she over-practiced it every chance she got.
"That ones definitely not going to be a promising one." She heard the voice of no other than Tyler Owens himself as he walked up behind her.
"Oh yeah for sure, not enough moisture to be able to grow, no hope there. Guess we'll have to wait a couple hours." Lily crossed her arms as she stared up to the cloud above, knowing that based off of Kate's departure and Tyler trying to throw her off as she did to him the day before, that this was her twister.
"So, where did you learn to track storms?" Tyler asked as he moved to stand in front of her, blocking her vision from the clouds above.
"Oh, nowhere. I learned it all from my brother and his friends years ago. Then I went back to college for it as just a fun little hobby." She gave him a tight lipped smile, her heart strings constricting at the thought of her late friends and all the tears that had been put into not being paralyzed every time a tornado came into view.
"So you paid thousands of dollars for a hobby?" He tilted his head at her in confusion.
"Uh yeah? It's not like I'm going to run out of money, I had to put it all to use somehow." She shrugged defensively at the boy's judgy tone.
"Oh right, forgot you were rich or whatever." He turned back around to look at the scenery around them.
"Not rich, just financially comfortable." They sat in silence for a minute just taking in the environment around them. Lily breathed in a big breath of fresh air closing her eyes in content at the warmth of the sun on her back.
