"I can't believe Eli left us, like he ditched us for Cersi. Like this same Cersi, and you're just calm about the situation." "You're not being serious right now. The girl just wants to be your friend, and besides, you and Eli are not yet a thing, or are you?" "Franco Decker, the most unserious living being in the entire heaven." "And you happen to be the worst sister ever, you know that right?" "Don't push your luck."
The bell rang, jacking them off their argument. To settle it, Franco extended his hand for a handshake, but she slapped him away. But he didn't stop; he now opened both hands for a hug. "Come on... you know you want to." After much pleading and baby eyes, she finally hugged him back.
"Hey, Penny, what's up?" "I'm not your Penny." "So, what are you to me?" "Please duck off." The tone was very clear: she was angry, but Eli didn't seem to care.
"I know you're upset that I ditched lunch, but it wasn't really my fault. You both left me." "Really? So we left? Since when have we ever gone together?" "That's the problem. I always wanted us to go together. I always wished for that. I always wanted that. It was as if you were embarrassed of us." "Oh really? So am I also embarrassed of my brother?" "I never said that." "I've always been very popular with living in class alone." "Why don't you tell me?" "Are you questioning me?" "Yes, yes, I am." "Good, my reason is for only me." "Oh really? Or is it because there's a guy you always meet? Ha! You really thought I wouldn't find out?"
A sense of fear spread around her body. The only person she meets is Angel Ann; he is the only one, and no one can see him – no one is supposed to, like no one. "How...?" "What do you take me for, a fool?" Rising to her feet, she placed her hands on his head and drove into his memories.
A few minutes back: "Come on, Eli, must you make me beg?" "It's not that..."
"Before we eat, don't you want to know why Penny doesn't go out with all of you?" "What do you mean?" "Come see." Dragging him to the school rooftop, he could hear a very familiar voice. Moving forward, he saw Penelope talking with a man and soon hugging him.
Removing her hands, she looked shocked. "How is that possible? She made you see him. He's also a rejected angel."
