She just smiled and said, "No thanks." She crouched, then lept into the air, a trail of red following her every movement. She performed simple acrobatics. Being careful not to accidently show Nakari too much of what's under her skirt.

Nakari glanced up at her, a soft smile lighting his face. She's beautiful, he thought. He turned away from her, and looked out over the horizon instead.

She alighted about five feet from him. "Gym just doesn't do it for me." She plunked herself down next to him and watched the clouds float past.

"History doesn't for me. Not since I met you," he murmured. "What are you doing in gym?" he asked her, looking up for a sparse moment.

"CPR. I don't even think that qualifies as physical exertion. And what do you mean about history?" she asked.

He grinned. "Why?" he asked. "Because you're a crazy brat?"

"No. Remember the reason I have inside information? It's the fact that I'm on the school's expendability board. So I'm exempt that class. They think I'm already a mind-slave."

She looked deep into his eyes, totally serious. "Nakari. Do you, you of all people, really think I would betray everyone like that? You, Mr. Thompson, Jacoby, and everyone else? Really, Nakari? Do you think that?"

"Nakari," she whispered. She lay a hand on his shoulder, her head down. "I'm sorry. I should go. Class starts soon." She turned and lept off the edge of the building, gliding down to the ground and re-entering the school.

Nakari stared at where she once was, fuming. Closing his eyes, he pretended ice water was being poured over his head, but to no effect. His temper was ignited, and nothing would stop it until he could vent.
