A Plant Project PV Wyatt Starkey FIN

She didn't like the way that Wyatt snapped at her and his words stung a little. Okay, a lot. He snatched up his bag and he darted out of the classroom, leaving her shocked and left with those last words. The good of the project? Was that truly the ONLY reason he had helped her? She could feel the tears building in her eyes but she closed them, not allowing them to come.

She slowly packed up her things along with some of her other classmates and continued on her day, giving this much thought over the course of that evening and into the next day. Still, when she happened to find him in the corridors, she zigzagged through other students to catch up with him. "Hey! Hey, Starkey!" she said a little breathlessly as she caught up to him. "Hold up. I've got something for you," and she pulled out a cellophane baggie of lemon drops that she had tied off with a pretty ribbon. "The end of the term is stressful. I totally understand." That had to be the reason that he had snapped at her. "Lemon drops can't make EVERYTHING better but they can help. At least for me. I thought maybe they could help out my friend, too." She smiled to him brightly, still insisting that yes, he was her friend.
