Third Person's P.O.V

Cleo never understood why this generation could never put their phones down.

For her, she only would use it to find out about the future protest and economic problems of the world. What others would find a waste of time, she enjoyed. She liked going to the library and ACTUALLY socializing with friends face to face.

Sometimes she believed God threw her in the wrong time period.

Though she did have her opinions on God too.

Today though was a prime example of the crisis of her generation. Everyone in the hallway was on their phones. Cleo and Maya seemed to be the only ones without theirs in their hand. They both started to enjoy each other's company, learning that their differences had more similarities than they thought.

Meanwhile, Riley and Lucas were being the reason adults thought the Earth was doomed.

Cleo looked helplessly at the two, looking to Maya to handle the situation. Maya raised her hand up with a 'say no more' look on her face. She pointed to Lucas and looked at Cleo with a 'help me' look. Cleo nodded and skipped over to Lucas.

She sat next to him on the bench and sat for a good 2 minutes without him noticing. She was shocked when Riley even came over to 'talk' to him but only ended up smelling him and he had no clue.

Cleo grew quickly irritated with the boy and snatched the phone out his hands. Lucas instantly reached to get his phone back, getting close to whoever had it.

That's when he realized it was Cleo.

She held his phone over the edge of the bench, to the point that if she dropped it, his phone would smack the floor. Cleo noticed how close he had gotten but kept her cool. Lucas, on the other hand, did the complete opposite.

"Are you gonna move, farm boy?"

Lucas abruptly moved back and scratched the back of his neck. "I-I didn't mean to get that close. Not that I wouldn't want to be close to you! I just know everyone enjoys personal space... I'm gonna stop talking now." Cleo laughed at the boy and tossed back his phone.

She stood up and spared one last look and comment to the boy. "You and I both know you wanted to kiss me. As your ex I don't blame you, I'd kiss me too." Lucas smiled as she walked away, glad she broke the ice.

Riley and Maya looked curiously at Cleo as she walked back. Riley was the first to ask her a question. "I have two questions. One, can you teach me to do that with Lucas? Two, why have I just noticed you dress like you're older."

"One, you've gotta do it naturally, Sunshine. Two, sometimes you aren't very observant, but I'm not judging. Three, can we please talk about the texting thing?"

Riley pulled out her phone and typed away, smiling at Cleo before walking into the classroom. Maya's phone vibrated in her pocket, so she took it out and looked at a message.

"She said no."

Cleo rolled her eyes and was about to go in class until Maya pulled her back. "Does Lucas like you or the other way around?"
