"I passed!" Elias exclaimed, speed-walking down the hallway to her.  

She grinned, closing her locker, "Its a miracle!" 

He lightly shoved her shoulder, "I only messed up the formulas, I kinda knew I would." He handed her his final chemistry exam and she briefly scanned it. 

"Don't flatter me, might go to my head." She teased, handing his paper back, and began walking through the sea of students. It was a very busy time in her highschool. Seniors were elated to finally graduate in a few days, underclassmen was excited for summer, and teachers were trying to get all their work finished. 

Elias followed her, "I figured out a new code today in the computer lab." 

"Oh, did you?" She glanced over her shoulder, smiling, "What did Ms. Moralis think of that while you were supposed to be paying attention?" 

"I told you in the cafeteria, she doesn't care anymore," He chuckled, dodging a student, "I'm practically acing the class without her teaching. But listen, it was a fun hacking code. I tried it out and got into a few different sites way easier than before." 

"So what are you going to do? Hack into the Pentagon?" She laughed. 

He scoffed, "You can do a lot more than that with hacking. You could disable an entire nation." 

"Alright, alright, no need to get all serious on me," She paused outside of her classroom and turned to face him, "I know. You've literally taught me all the tricks, its serious stuff." 

"We could hack into a movie site and steal tickets." He wiggled his eyebrows. 

She rolled her eyes, "You know my weakness." Then, after a pause, she shifted on her feet, "Do you think we could get into serious trouble from hacking?" 

"Probably," He said, "But that's why you gotta be careful." 

She shrugged her shoulder, "Life isn't fun without a little thrill." 

"You bet!" He handed her a snickers bar, "Want to meet at my place after school?" 

She paused, thinking. She had an interview at the cafe downtown for a part-time web designer position with a prestigious company, it had been scheduled for weeks, but she didn't want to tell him yet. She wanted to see if she was even applicable for the job with her computer skills, and then she would tell him all about it. She wanted it to be a surprise. 

"I can't," She thought of a quick lie, "I'm having dinner with my parents tonight. Maybe tomorrow?" 

He groaned, "That's so far away! I can't wait to show you these new codes." 

"Excited to crack the code, eh?" She wiggled her eyebrows, "Its the weekend tomorrow, you know?" 

"I know," He grinned, "I'll catch you later, then?"
