Jaden grew a little red as she straightened up his shirt and hair, talking about lady love. He still wasn't convinced that Eden had any sort of attraction to him. He hoped, but he doubted it. Still, it was nice of Annie to encourage him. "Thanks," he told her after she finished.
"You won't tell anyone about me," he asked, "Will you?" She was very nice, so he had the feeling she would respect his wishes. His main reason for wanting to make sure she didn't talk about it was because he would probably get in trouble with his parents. They were definitely better than they were a year ago, so he didn't want something causing them to decide they were right originally. The only person to discover his power, and didn't go to his school, before now was Eden, and she liked it. Now Annie seemed pretty cool with it too. In his mind, his parents were definitely wrong, but he also knew that telling your parents they're wrong is not as easy as it sounds.
