"Wait up, Grace!" Lillie called to Grace.
Grace kept walking with her head down low, pretending not to hear her. Lillie caught up to Grace. You could tell she was out of breath.
"Grace..... That.....*puff*..... Was... AMAZING!" Lillie finally managed to catch her breath when Grace sighed. "How did you know that thing you said in class?!" Lillie was still shocked.
"Do you really want to know?" Grace made eye contact with Lillie for, possibly, the first time ever.
"YEEEEEEES!" Lillie almost yellled.
"Well......." Grace started. Lillie was about to tell Grace to say it already when, suddenly, Grace grabbed Lillie's wrist and pulled her into a janitors closet nearby and quickly shut the door hoping no-one would see them.
"Woah, hey! what was that for?" Lillie yelled at Grace while she searched for a light switch.
"Shhhh! Keep your voice down, they could hear you! I brought you into a small, dark closet for a reason!" Grace told her.
"Who are we hiding from?!" Lillie whisper yelled.
"That bitch, Natalie." Grace folded her arms with her back to the door. Lillie knew exactly what Grace was thinking.
"Yeah, me too." Lillie also folded her arms standing in front of Grace. Grace turned to look through the keyhole of the door.
"Is she still there?" Lillie tried to catch a glimpse through the crack of the door.
"No, I think she's gone." Grace clapped her hands and the lights turned on. They were in a small closet with white walls and shelves overflowed with cleaning supplies.
"Can you tell me now?" Lillie asked with even more impatience.
"Yes." Grace slid her back down the door of the closet untill she was sat on the floor with her knees at chin height. Lillie sat down in front of Grace with her legs crossed and her chin resting on her left hand.
"Basically..... I have a..... type of disorder......." Grace looked away hugging her knees.
"Which is....?" Lillie signaled Grace to keep speaking.
"It's called precociphilia." Grace finally finished.

{Pronounced~ Pree-co-cuh-fill-ia}
{See authors note at end of Chapter for details}

"Oh.... Grace I'm sorry.... That must be tough." The room was silent for a minute.
"What exactly is that?" Lillie asked suddenly. Grace rolled her eyes and smirked because she knew Lillie didn't know what the hell she was talking about.
"To put it simply; it's a disorder that makes me....... smart, in a way....... I mean like... super smart. My foster mom says it's not really a disorder.....if anything, it's a good thing because it makes me smarter. She says it's an 'order' not a 'disorder'.... she's wierd."
"Oh. So it's a good thing?" Lillie asked.
"Mostly, Yes but..... Sometimes I can't control myself..... and things like that happen in class where if no-one knows the answer to a question, my disorder takes over and I HAVE to answer, otherwise it drives me completely insane! I lost a friend in kindergarten once because I always corrected her, but to be fair she was pretty dumb." Grace admitted.
Both girls laughed for a bit.
"Thanks for telling me, Grace." Lillie mentioned kindly.
"No problem." Grace smiled.
"So.... uh..... what now?" Lillie said looking up at the door.
"Well it's been recess for about 5 minutes so we have 15 minutes left..... wanna go to the library and look at some manga?"
"OMG YES!!!" Lillie shouted as she jumped up from the floor. Grace got up carefully and opened the door, only to reveal a nasty sight for the both of them.
"Well, well, well... if it isn't Dumbass and Smartass....." Natalie turned around from her little entourage and gave the girls an evil smirk. Grace stayed silent and just glared at the goth, but Lillie stepped in.
"Can we help you?" Lillie ranted with clear attitude.
"Enough of the sass, Peasant." Natalie hissed.
"Did she seriously just call me a peasant?" Lillie thought out loud.
"Yeah I did. Why what are you gonna do? Bark at me?" Natalie gave a sour cackle.
"Just tell us what you want so we can get on with our lives." Grace groaned, clearly bored with the situation already.
"I want to know what you two wierdos were doing in the cleaners closet. You really shouldn't be in there." Natalie folded her arms.
"Why do you care?" Lillie mimicked Natalie by folding her arms too.
"I'm the hall monitor, and I say you shouldn't be in there. I'm gonna have to write you up for a warning." Natalie whipped out a notepad and started scribbling with a green pencil.
"Yeah, okay..... whatever we're leaving now." Lillie grabbed Grace's arm and walked around the group of girls surrounding Natalie.
"Bitch...." Grace muttered under her breath.
"Ugh.... don't even get me started about her.... she's not worth our time anyway." Lillie glanced back at Natalie as they walked away down the hall.
"Uh..... Lillie, can I meet you at the library in five? I need to go to the bathroom." Grace told her.
"Ok, see you there!" Lillie shouted.
"Oh, wait! Before I go.... You left this folder thing in English." Grace clicked her fingers and it appeared in her hand. She handed Lillie a purple ring clip folder with blue and magenta flowers on it and a pile of papers inside.
"Oh! Thanks, Grace! I could've lost it!" Lillie held it against her chest.
"No problem! See you in five!" Grace waved and walked away.
"See ya!" Lillie hollered back. Lillie started walking down the long corridor towards the library, she turned a corner and bumped into something that caused her to fall backwards onto her back and drop her folder with her papers scattering all over the floor.
"Ow." Lillie said blankly as she looked opposite her, only to see that blonde boy from English. He had fallen backwards just like Lillie did. He had a deep voice and an "Attack on Titan" backpack
The boy shook his head and opened his eyes. He looked up at Lillie and stared for a minute. He snapped out of it and stuttered.
"Uhhhh..... Oh, OH I am SO sorry!" He frantically started to pick up all of Lillie's papers from the floor.
"Oh, no! It's okay.... I'm fine!" Lillie started to pick up some of them as she kept glancing at him.
"Here." The boy offered his hand to help Lillie up. She took it and dusted herself off.
"Thank you." Lillie blushed. He handed her the papers he had picked up.
"You're a really good drawer." He said smiling.
"Oh... you saw that?" Lillie blushed even harder as she placed the papers in her folder.
He nodded "I'm Chase, by the way." He held his hand out.
"Lillie." She smiled as they shook hands.
' 'Lillie' ; That's a nice name' He thought. "Like the flower?" He asked.
"Kinda.... it's spelled differently. It's taken after my Grandma, Lillian." She explained.
"Oh, that's nice...." Chase said awkwardly.
"Oh, NO! She's not dead!.... If that's what you're thinking..." Lillie yelped.
"Oh! Ok... good!" Chase looked relieved.
"Sooooo......Attack on Titan, huh?" Lillie pointed at his back.
"Yeah! I love that anime!" He answered enthusiastically.
"I heard it's good but I've only watched like five minutes of the first episode." They laughed.
"It's good. You should watch the rest." Chase scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah....." Lillie muttered nervously.
There was a bit of an awkward silence after that.
"Well, I gotta go meet my friend..." Lillie suddenly mentioned.
"Oh! Yeah, yeah totally... cool. I uhh... I'll see you later then..?" Chase seemed a bit nervous.
"Yeah! Totally, cool..." Lillie stuttered.
"Cool beans...." Chase mumbled.
"Coolio..." Lillie responded. They both laughed.
"See ya!" Chase walked past waving.
"Buh-bye! ! ! " Lillie waved.
'Now THAT was awkward'.

{Okay first off... I don't really know ANYTHING about mental disorders and I didn't want to offend anyone so I made that one up... if that makes sense... if you searched 'Precociphilia' into Google nothing comes up.

Secondly: I am SO SORRY I haven't updated in like a week. Lol you probs thought I was dead or something... but NOPE you can't get rid of me that easily! HAHA!!!

Anyway, thank you, guys for reading this chapter, any suggestions, just comment and I'll take them into consideration. I'll see you guys.... INTHANEXTCHAPTER.
Toodles!!!}
