-I knew you would be here.- Norman shut the door behind him as he sat beside his friend's laying body.

" The room where we keep the weapons is currently occupied due to the preparations so... There wasn't anywhere else for you to hide."

The infirmary was the last place Ray would imagine Norman lurking, so it was obvious in Norman's mind where to go first.

Ray was facing the pillow bellow him, his breathing was slow and his body wasn't moving at all.

"Maybe if I stay still, he will just give up and--"

-I know you're not asleep.- Norman stated as he pinched Ray's arm. He soon stopped his acting due to the pain and sat up.

-What do you want?- Even though Ray was glad to see he wasn't mad, there was another part of him that wasn't digging it at all. He rubbed where Norman pinched and pouted.

-I told you I wanted to talk. So let's do it.- Norman looked down at his shoes and Ray bit his own lip. He wasn't escaping this conversation now.

-What do you want to talk about?- He knew this conversation was coming sooner or later, but he didn't feel ready for it at all.

"I can't look you in the eyes, I'm sorry..." The two of them thought. After those bad things they thought and had done to eachother earlier, their eyes weren't ready to face the other's.

-Stop evading the subject. You know I'm here to talk about Emma.- Norman responded as his hands grasped the sheets. He was tired of being lied to and hidden the truth from. He had done his research when he had a word with Emma the other day, but he hoped his conclusions were just miss guided.

" -Ray is cute, isn't him?- I said and her face blushed deeply. I wasn't expecting that kind of response at all but it gave me a big clue.

-What kind of cute? Like I admire you, you're cute. Or I want to kiss-you- cute--Are you into... Ray?- She concluded and I could feel my face getting hotter. She placed her hand on my shoulder and I backed off slightly.

-I just wanted to know if you agreed on that statement, and I'm not... - I said as she leaned herself against the corridor I was already leaning against. She was totally missing my point either beacause she wanted to play dumb ir just in pure confussion.

But I can read her like a book even if she doesn't want me to.

-I guess...-She mumbled and played with her braid. Her body, I could almost feel her mind forming sentences. Is it this wrong to know so much about someone?

I hated how good I could read you.

I wanted all those things her body language told me to be false."

Even though the truth was fairly obvious by now, he needed to hear it from him. He hadn't been with them for a many reasons, but he wasn't planning on missing any mayor event like this again.

-How is she?- Ray let out as he stared at his own fist.

"I almost punched you earlier... You don't know the luck you had she was there. Well, we both were lucky.

Looking back, I overreacted big time... What if you really didn't know? Or if you did, maybe that's just the way your friendship with her is...
