"So much for getting out of New York," MJ sighed from beside Lilith. The two girls plus Talia and Beck were currently in Lili's hotel room laying on the floor procrastinating packing. After the last elemental's attack, Mr. Harrington was bombarded by calls from parents demanding that their children return to New York.
Lilith turned over on her side now fully facing her friend, "I can't believe my parents paid for us to not even last a week in Europe." The Wolfe's weren't rich but they didn't struggle economically, they got by fine but in Lili's opinion, the failure of this trip was a waste of money.
Beck scoffed "I didn't even want to come." They all knew that was a lie, although Beck tried to act nonchalant about a lot of things, the trip had sparked excitement in him.
"So when are you telling Peter about your secret," Talia asked what everyone was dying to know. Lili was so sure about telling the boy earlier but after today's events, Lilith remembered why her family had created ground rules surrounding her powers.
"When I see him I guess," Lili shrugged trying to play it off.
MJ smirked slightly, "Great because I think I hear him outside in the hall." The brunette pulled Lili up from the ground and slightly shoved her towards the door. MJ and Talia gave her encouraging looks ushering her to talk to the boy who was without a doubt having a rather loud conversation in the hall.
Lilith took a deep breath and opened her door finding Peter looking out towards the stairwell, "Hey."
The boy turned to look at the girl a smile beginning to grow on his face, "Hey."
"Where were you?" Lili asked as she leaned against the door frame.
"Um I got lost," His voice went quieter with every word.
"We were worried about you," Lilith continued. After returning to the Opera House, Mr. Harrington and Mr. Dell noticed that Peter was gone and when they found out about the attack they couldn't help but think the worst.
Peter felt guilty not finding the right words and only being able to reply with a simple, "Oh"
"But you're back," Lilith gave him a tightlipped smile
"Yeah," Peter replied clutching to his backpack like his life depended on it.
"So much for Paris." Lilith shrugged moving away from the door looking back into her room, seeing her siblings and MJ listening intently to the whole conversation.
"Would've been fun," Peter responded still not letting go of his backpack.
"Well night," Lilith smiled
"Night," Peter added while the girl closed the door to her room.
Behind the door, Lilith was mentally scolding herself for not actually talking to the boy. Taking another deep breath she once again turned to open the door only to find that the Peter was getting ready to knock.
