“Nice to meet you as well, Liam,” Korie said, shaking the boy’s hand. “And I’m glad to hear that I missed a debacle that forced you to use your powers—doesn’t sound like something I’d enjoy.” Hearing Liam’s request, Korie gave him an amused smile. “Of course. I don’t want to have to lose the first friend I make. Besides,” the girl said, glancing off to the side, “I know what kind of trouble using your abilities brings.”

Korie looked around the corner into the gymnasium, eyes widening when she realized just what a “social” entailed. She’d been alone for so long after the government discovered her that she’d almost forgotten what it was like to be surrounded by people.

“You ready to go back in?” Korie asked, looking back at Liam. “I’m thinking you’d be a good person to follow around—you seem like you know your way around the place,” Korie said, grinning slightly. “At least more than a clueless new arrival. I hope you won’t mind me tagging along with you during the social.”
