Stormy looked over at Emmett, a small smile crossing her face, "thanks, I'll make sure to remember that." She said, "do you spend a lot of your time here then?" She asked, figuring that had to be it, there was no other way someone got to looking like him without working out a lot.

“Either here, or the cafeteria, or outside… Or in my room.” Emmett chuckled, knowing he often wandered around campus for something to do, or chasing a butterfly. “But mostly here.” He added quickly, not wanting to think about the group of guys who had laughed at him about chasing the butterfly around.

"Got it," Stormy laughed, "I'll start by looking here, that might make it easier." She teased, wondering if he really meant what he was saying and considering her options she'd take it seriously. She could use a friend who didn't seem to have a hidden motive, yet.

“Oh, well first you’d probably should check my dorm room,” In Emmett’s mind, he was thinking she was going to be looking for him at the crack of dawn, he wasn’t sure why he thought that. He frowned, when he remembered he didn’t just go straight to the gym after waking up either. “And then second would be the cafeteria.” He added, wondering if he should just tell her his whole day, even if he might get sidetracked and be somewhere else.

Stormy tilted her head when he started to go on about what order to check places for him and her lips curled into a smile. "How about we make it easier and you just give me your number so I can text you?" She asked, feeling a bit bold in the moment but part of her thought, as she looked at him, that he may be in need of a friend and she would be that for him if that's what the world wanted.

Emmett blinked his eyes a few times, he hadn’t owned a phone before coming to this school, so he often didn’t think about it. Though he had found this fun app called Tik Tok with videos that he could spend hours on it, but then there were times where he even forgot it because his mind was elsewhere. “Oh. My phone is…” He started patting his pockets because he couldn’t remember where he put it after changing in the locker room. “Ah, back pocket.” He said, forgetting that he had been wearing one of his headphones and listening to music, even though it was still playing in his left ear. He unlocked his phone and handed it over to her, feeling the bike automatically change gears to make it hard to pedal because he was going up a small hill.

Stormy smiled a bit more when he seemed to be going through a list in his head of where his phone could be. She hoped that he was joking and not going to act like he didn't have his phone so that he could avoid exchanging numbers but then...he pulled it out of his pocket and gave it to her. "It's always in the last place you think of." She said as she opened up his contacts and nodded in her number, her feet stilling on the bike pedals. Once she saved her number she sent a text to herself then held out his phone back to him. "There, now you can text me whenever or I can text you."

“The last place would have been my room, and that’s a long walk,” The thought of having to walk to his dorm and back made Emmett tired, even though he had been working out for the past two hours. “That’s how phone works.” He still didn’t understand it, but it was one of the few things, like the gym equipment, that he wasn’t going to question.

Stormy laughed a little and shrugged, "it just means some extra walking." She told him, thinking that maybe if she kept herself busy she could avoid whatever thoughts plagued her for the day but then again, she didn't want to bother anyone else with her problems.

“But I’m lazy and don’t want to walk,” Emmett groaned, sounding a little pathetic, even as he pealed on like that was normal for him to do. It was easier than walking though, since he was sitting down for most of it. “If I reach my dorm room, I’d just want to stay there.” He joked, though he just might, not wanting to sit through classes for the rest of the day.

Stormy laughed, "I get that, especially if there's enough time to take a nap." She said, finding more of her time spent curled up under the covers to try to let the days move on faster so she wouldn't have to think or exhaust herself with stupid things.

Emmett sighed with the image of taking a nap under the trees in the orchard, partially missing home, and wishing he could go visit. He planned to ask his grandparents the next time they talked over the phone, which was hopefully tonight. “A nap sounds amazing instead of classes.” Though he would miss lunch if he napped now.

"A nap always sounds amazing." Stormy agreed but noticed that something in his expression seemed to change but she couldn't pin point what it was. She was about to say something else when the teacher shouted out to the class that it was time to head into the locker room and change. "Ah, guess that's time." She said as she slowed down and climbed off the bike, steadying herself with the handle, her legs feeling liked cooked noodles.

Emmett didn’t stop pedaling for a moment, having heard the teacher call out to them, but the words went in one ear and out the other. He didn’t realize what was said until she got off the bike, “Oh. Guess class is over then.” He wasn’t sure what he was going to do now, except he wasn’t going to go to class after all, his brain wasn’t in it.

She raised an eyebrow when he kept going, about to say something to snap him out of this sudden focus but then he realized what was going on and she smiled a bit, "yeah, the teacher yelled for us to go change..." she said, kicking her toe at the foam mat that covered the entire floor. "So....I'll see you around."

Emmett had to think for a moment, as if the words needed to be absorbed in his brain first, “Right, get change and… Go to class?” He really wasn’t asking for confirmation, he was probably going to go back to his dorm room and sleep. “Sure, like, right after we change.” He thought she’d be walking out of the locker room at the same time as he would.

"Right...go to class," Stormy nodded slowly, wondering if he might have over pedaled his last brain cell. She was ready to go change out of her sweaty clothes but paused, looking over Emmett and smiled, "yeah, after we change." She agreed.

Emmett gave her a big smile and a thumbs up as they headed over to the locker rooms, and promptly ran into the door to the boy’s locker room. “Ouch.” He said, rubbing his nose and face, though it didn’t hurt that bad.

Stormy smiled but it disappeared the second he smacked into the locker room door. She raised an eyebrow in surprise but didn't say anything before slipping into the girls locker room to change.

Emmett blinked his eyes a few times and then looked up, finding Stormy had already disappeared into the girl’s locker room. He looked around the empty gym, thankful no one saw him do that before he too slipped through the door to the boy’s locker room.
