"Lily? Have you heard anything we've been saying about tomorrow's show?" Robbie asked, snapping his fingers in front of Lily's eyes.
Startled, Lily's head jerked back.
"Yes. Sounds like it's going to be a good show." She replied, rolling her eyes at his concern.
"Are you okay? You've been a basket case for a few days." Travis asked, causing the other two to turn their gazes towards Lily.

Math was his thing, and everyone in the class knew it. It was the perfect way to be alone with Lily without actually asking her out—and tainting his ego.
Mickey called his order and River returned to the counter, already plotting his next move.
