I walked to the pavilion, I missed my dad so bad and Jacqui. Quinn joined me and we strolled around, he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"I heard you're a prodigy"
His shoulders dropped and he exhaled. "Word gets around fast," I added, my curiosity tweaked at me
"How'd you do it?"
He was silent, I didn't want to push boundaries.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, I just put a lot more effort than I would usually"
"How old are you?" I asked
"I was about your age when I reached the black squad"
"Really?"
"Yeah. Come on, I need to show you something"
Excited, I wasn't having any classes today so I followed him as he walked briskly, hands in pockets. He had graceful steps too, I felt like a cub trailing helplessly on a lion.
We walked by a couple of female students who admired him nearby. The girls sneered at me, I ignored them and caught up with him. I could see the room before he flicked on the lights.
