"Otherwise saving you, ahhh!" Illyana laughed.
Larry was surprised to see her laughing, but lot of wonders are happening nowadays so he can understand it. Illyana holded Larry's hand and tell them to run otherwise all three would be caught. It's quite unusual and Larry was feeling softness of Illyana on his hand but with firm determination of not liking it. It's common that sometimes our hatred from somebody make us behave like this. They entered through hostel's way leading them to main hall which was empty as vacations are prevailing. Larry was toally perplexed on changed behaviour of Illyana as it was first time she was behaving firmly other wise her grim nature is commonly seen which he supposed to be inherited from Dean as his father is unknown so no can prediction can be made about his behaviour.
.
"So you enjoyed a treat at Royal Enclave?" Illyana questioned.
"How you know that?" Larry replied.
"I don't like to be questioned back. It was me to ask so tell me first." Illyana frowned.
Larry grimaced at her useless reply but what can he do because it was common behaviour of her mother so she is also like her, it with a sort of rejections in his mind he decided not to compare her with her mother, probably because of her cuteness but not with the way of liking her.
"Mr Winkle... are you sleepy?" she pushed Larry hard.
"Where are we.." Larry asked in his bewilderment.
"Royal cafe..." Ryan said two words since past hour, as he was enjoying conversation between two rivals.
"Ah! I got it but please humbly tell how you know about that?" Larry pleaded.
"Okay you are managing good money for that, alright so I just guessed."
Larry sat down shockingly. He was again confused how girls can be so smart that she first observed him managing money and then guessed so much money is required only for treat at Royal Cafe.
"Managing money.... how?" Ryan asked.
Illyana was about to speak but Larry winked at her with a way not to be observed by Ryan but stopping Illyana from revealing the truth. Illyana being the smartest among three and hawked eyed caught his intimation.
"Nothing from his piggy bank" Illyana said.
Larry took a deep sigh of relief and was gazing at Illyana with thankfulness in his eyes for two times saving him, first at the exit and now in front of Ryan.
"But miss Illyana how you managed to know this way? Larry beamed at her.
Illyana this time winked at him probably telling with eye contact that she did not want to reveal at that moment.
"Okay! Sorry miss." Larry was firm with her for the first time.
"Sorry for what?" Illyana snorted.
"For teasing you."
"Phewww!! it's common mister" she laughed putting her hand on Larry's grabbing his hair.
"Ahh! it's hurting." Larry said.
"But I will not say sorry for teasing this time."Illyana chuckled. All three laughed a lot. It's dark outside and no one remembered time passing out, all busy in their childish jokes.
Larry take out his hand and said, "So Illyana will you like to join us."
"Ya! Why not?" Illyana holded hand of both Larry and Ryan as she herself did not want to lose friendship of Larry, his truth of arranging money for Ryan's birthday. Friend like Larry is difficult to find. All three get out of main hall holding each others hand and with a sense of fulfillment in their heart, fulfillment of their team, their friendship.
