During school lunch, Lillian sat by the water fountain and watched the water shimmered in the air.

"Beautiful view, huh?" Ash said as he placed himself next to Lillian.

"Yeah…"

The silence raced around the atmosphere until Lillian spoke, "Ash, I forgot to ask you this yesterday, after the competition. Do you want to go somewhere after school today?"

"Sure. Where do you want to go?"

"Let's go to a cake shop to reward our hard works!"

Ash laughed and smiled at Lillian's energetic tone.

"What about Cam? Aren't you going to invite him, too?" He asked.

"Yeah. Let's go ask him!"

They ran up to Cam who was sleeping against the tree next to Laney and Georgia.

"He's sleeping," Lillian whispered.

"Wake him up," Ash replied as he nudged her shoulder.

"Hey C-"

"What do you want from him?" Laney barked. Her eyes pierced at the unpleasant enemy that stood in front of Cam.

"I want to ask him something…"

"Maybe I haven't told you this but I'll say it this once. Don't touch him. Don't talk to him. If I have to repeat this twice, be sure to move out of this school." Laney warned.

"Laney, that's enough," Ash interrupted.

"Ash, you stay out of this."

"Why is it so noisy here?" Cam groaned as he rubbed his eyes. He focused on the familiar figure of Lillian. "What is it?"

"Umm… I want to ask if you-"

"He can't!" Laney grabbed Cam's arm and continued, "He have to go somewhere with me today! Don't bother asking him to spend time with you!"

"Laney, enough is enough."

"Ash! This conversation does not include you."

"I think it's more proper to say that this conversation involve only Lillian and Cam."

Laney glowered at Ash with fierce eyes. "Are you starting to join her now?"

"That's plenty out of you, Laney. I'll have a talk with you later," Cam said as he turned to the girl in front of him. "What were you planning to ask me?"

"N-never mind. If Laney wants you to go somewhere with her, it must be important. Let's go, Ash," Lillian said. She tucked on Ash's sleeve and left.

Cam watched the figures of Lillian and his best friend settled on the water fountain seat.

"Why were you talking to Ash and Lillian like that?"

"I dislike her. No, I loathe her," Laney answered.

"It still doesn't give you any reason why you should talk rudely to Ash when he was right."

"I didn't want him to interrupt our conversation!"

"You were the one who did. By the way, where are we going today?"

"Didn't you remember? Your grandpa created a party tonight. He expected you to attend."

"I see. I totally forgot about that."

Lillian and Ash sat the opposite direction as each other. They dug into their cakes and enjoyed the sweetness that slowly spread on their tongue.

"It's so delicious!" Lillian chirped.

"Thanks for showing me this place. The cake here is amazing!"

"Let's come here, again."

"Definitely." Lillian smiled.

After they finished eating, Ash brought Lillian to a big amusement park.

"Woah! I always wanted to go here," Lillian muttered.

"You've never been here?"

"No… my parents couldn't afford the tickets…"

"Oh… Well then let's go in!"

Lillian was amazed with the views that danced before her eyes. She watched the merry-go-around, the roller roaster, the couples that were holding hands, the kids that were running toward their favorite rides, and the smiles that appeared on everyone's face. She listened to their exciting screaming, giggles, and laughter. She smelled the sweet scent of cotton candy and freshly baked churros.

"Come on! Let's go to that one first!" Lillian said as she pulled Ash's hand toward the Merry-go-round.

Ash couldn't help but laughed every time Lillian pulled him to another ride after a ride. He was tired but watching her smiles fueled up his energy.

'You must be tire from running around with me all day, right?" Lillian asked.

"Nah, I'm happy to see you so happy."

"Let's go to the Ferris Wheel. We can sit down and relax there."

"Sure."

They stepped on the empty carriage and sat on the opposite side of each other. The carriage began to moves up slowly as silence gripped them.

"Thank you for taking me here," Lillian smiled. She looked down at the sparkling park.

"No problem. It was fun."

Ash stared at Lillian and inhaled all the air he could and exhaled. His heart was pumping out of his chest and his words stuttered as he tried to speak.

"L-Lillian…"

"Yes?" Lillian replied.

"I want to tell you something. This might be the perfect time to say it."

"What is it?"

"Uh- that the churros tasted great here!" Ash felt his cheeks turned red when Lillian studied his face carefully. He knew she was digging through him in search for his thoughts.

"Liar."

"It is true!"

"It is but it isn't the thing you want to say."

Ash smiled and replied, "I notice that you talk a lot now."

"Maybe it's because I feel closer to you. Do you not like me speaking too much?"

"No… it's not like that. I like it."

"Ash, you're changing subject. Tell me what's wrong."

Lillian investigated Ash's face that was burning red. She frowned and put her hand on his forehead.

"Are you sick? You're burning red," Lillian asked.

"I'm fine…"

Ash grabbed her hand and squeezed her palm. He stored up all his courage and finally spoke, "I-I really like you."

Lillian widened her eyes as the words spilled out of his mouth. She felt her heart racing faster when she looked down at the hand that was held by Ash. This had never happened to her before. What was she supposed to say? How could she tell him her answer? Was it just a simple "no"? or a simple "yes"? Perhaps it could be something longer than that, such as "I do like you, too" or "I don't feel the same way." What could it be? Would her answer affect his and others feelings? She was lost and confused. Lillian stared blankly at the floor.

"You don't have to answer to my feeling right now. I'll wait until you realize what your heart desires," Ash said.

Lillian hesitated for a moment and spoke, "I have my answer."
