"That is weird... It's weird how that happened." Lydia murmured. "I always thought you hated me so much you just purposely kept up with me. It pissed me off so bad that I would fight even harder to go further, thinking that I could break the neck-and-neck pace we had. Usually that just ended with me getting my ass kicked and fed back to me... to no avail. We'd be at the same level anyway. I think... maybe Willow purposely kept up with me all that time...?" Lydia's tone was hesitant. "I don't want to think that, so egotistically... but I really think that it's possible he held himself back to match my pace? But why would he do that? He probably could have graduated already. I don't even know his real name. Until now, I didn't even know he controlled plants... Dillon's a real cutie though. I don't think you could have a better minion." Lydia nodded, leaning back, picking at her bagel. "I'm just annoyed, I guess. I'm annoyed that all that crap happened, and I'm annoyed that I didn't trust him. I'm embarrassed for myself."
