( Even though he had reminded them, a part of him wondered if any of the students would show. )

"Evening," he said simply before coming to a stop and glancing over his shoulder at Lester, as if to make sure he was following. Honestly, he wasn't looking forward to dealing with the man's usual attitude, especially with everything he'd learned recently. He hadn't told anyone about what Oscar had sent Lawrence out to do, preferring to leave it to the blond's discretion, but just because he didn't want to worry the group needlessly yet didn't mean he wasn't going to keep his hackles up around the nosy old man. Ezra finally looked over at him, the shadow from his pulled up hood hiding his eyes a bit, before nodding at the box in his grasp.
"Should we bother asking what's in the box or is it a surprise?"

Something like he was stalling for time.
That's just fine. Lawrence thought. If I can't get any straight answers out of him, I can at least create enough doubt so as to stop others from trusting him blindly like I did...
He scoffed. "If I recall correctly, you mentioned that the study group was up to 'no good' and that I should keep my eye on them. I did exactly that, and through much investigation I came to discover that they weren't the ones that were up to no good. The person who was, however, was you. Oh, I'm sure you were quite concerned, weren't you? Like how you were concerned when you sent the rest of them on a trip to the museum? Ah, yes... how did that end again? I wonder..." he asked, with a patronizing tone.

She still didn't look the least bit bothered by Lawrence's speech. If anything, she looked perfectly content to just let him keep talking.

Had he accomplished anything at all? No... it didn't seem like it. He thought that confronting Principal Ivors would make him feel a little better about how everything turned out since he assumed he would be getting answers... but all he got was blatant skirting and beating around the bush.
He sighed. What a waste of time. He looked at Ezra with a frustrated and disappointed expression, then quickly turned to Lilly with the same expression on his face.
Maybe it was time for him to let this go. It didn't seem to be going anywhere. With another reluctant sigh, he nodded. "We will be sure to get it to its destination..." he muttered, without emotion or the slightest bit of interest.

After a few seconds though, he could no longer simply stare awkwardly at the other boy. "What are you doing, Ezra." He muttered quietly so that only he and Ezra could hear.

"We're leaving aren't we?" he returned in a similarly low tone. "But, uh. You keep looking over, and I keep thinking you wanna talk? So what is it?" Fully prepared to have been told he was reading the blond's alien body language the wrong way, he finally turned his gaze towards Lawrence with an inquiring expression.

He had thought he was just staring absently in thought, but was he actually looking at Ezra? Did some part of him secretly hope that Ezra might jump in and help him with the confrontation?
No... that was silly. Why would he hope that? Lawrence thought for a moment.
Had... I really hoped that...? But why would... he asked himself.
"It... ah..." he stammered. He wanted to say it was nothing, but just the thought of it made him cringe.
Because that was a lie. And Lawrence couldn't lie.
He began timidly.
"Did... you understand any of what Principal Ivors said...?" he asked, in a mutter.

"He always thinks we're inviting it," he whispered when he figured the principal wasn't looking or listening. "We did blow up school property during an attack... that was during the summer though." After a pause, he finally gave in and grinned. "So he's had more than enough time to make us pay. He's always like this. I don't think we're gonna get a clear answer."

"You blew something up during an attack?" he asked. "What was it?"
It seemed like a mundane detail, but Lawrence was looking for anything that could give him more insight into this mystery. He also took into account Ezra mentioning that Principal Ivors always thought they invited the attacks.
...Ah...! And then it hit him! That was something Oscar had said just now! A thought began to form in his mind... one he wasn't entirely sure about. Could it be possible that something this group did in the past ended up causing demons to flood into their world?
It was something to ponder at the very least. Lawrence placed his index finger under his chin in thought.

He was right. Their conversation would have to wait. They'd been muttering for too long and someone was bound to get suspicious. Not to mention, Lawrence was quite sure that Oscar had heard everything.
But he didn't care. Weighing far more on his mind was the reason why he stared at Ezra earlier. What exactly was he hoping for?

"We should get going," she announced quietly, pulling her phone out of her purse to send one last text to Emi while she walked.

Then she closed her phone again and tucked it back into her purse.
