Before lunch at about 10 am Menace was in her room practising singing. She sang a couple of new songs her band wrote and tried to figure out how they sound the best. Also she was tipping concentrated on her laptop. Menace practised for half an hour now and made up her mind about four songs so far. She had a few more to go but will take a break from singing soon.
In the afternoon Menace and Numb were standing in the hallway and she asked:"you wanna go for a walk?" He nooded and they went outside. When they entered the woods the sun shone through the leaves. "What's your favorite place?", she wanted to know. "My room or the studio. And you?" Numb replied. "For me it's my room too, the atelier and the gallery. And what's your favorite animal?", she responded.
He thought for a second and answered:"Fish." "Then... Are there any new songs your band wrote? ", she asked. He shock his head and replied:"Ah, you know, I can't tell you that." "And...", Menace began but Numb interupted her:"Are you asking me out?" "If I would ask you out, I would ask for a date or to watch a movie together or something", Menace answered. "Okay, so you wanna date me?", Numb asked. "If you say yes?", she responded. He nooded, smiled at her and she smiled back.
I got a date. Wow. I'm so excited.
"So what you wanna do?", she asked. "Well, we won't really have private time. So if we do something together the others will know. We shouldn't make a secret out of it", Numb replied. "We are not making a secret out of it, okay", Menace agreed. "Maybe we could watch a movie and eat popcorn together as you said, if you want?", he suggested. "Yeah", she answered piked up a big red leave from the ground.
Carefully she looked at it and threw it away again. "We will have to wait till noone plays video games or watches TV then. Won't be that hard", Numb said. Menace past some trees and was deep in her thoughts when she realised someone laying in the grass. Quickly she came closer and he followed her. It was a boy. Unconscious. Not moving. Young with a red and orange shirt and a blue jeans. A black hat was laying near him. Softly she touched his shoulders and shock them to wake him up but he didn't react. He was breathing slowly and steady, same with his heartbeat. "We should take him to Care", Numb recommended. Menace nodded and took the hat, lifted him up so that Numb could carry him and they ran back to the building.
At the station they laid him into a bed and Care checked him up. He was dehydried and didn't ate enough food for a some days but he will be fine as long he gets the right medicine and a rest. Menace asked XO if she knew the boy but she never saw him before.
