the sisters did.   Meanwhile Lyssa kept watching the empty seat like a hawk.   She looked almost terrified of it.
     
    “Um, Lyss… what happened?”
     
    Lyssa just looked to her sister with wide eyes.
     
    “Lyssa!” she demanded.
     
    “He asked me out,” she whispered.
     
    “What?!”
     
    “He. Asked. Me. Out.”
     
    Missy squealed so loudly people from all the surrounding tables looked at her.   She was bouncing in her seat, “Tell me you said yes!”
     
    Lyssa’s eyes never left Lexa, “I tried everything I could to say no but, he shot down all my excuses.   I…I said yes.”
     
    Melissa let out an extremely loud yelp, which got the monitor to walk over to their table, “Is there something wrong girls?”
     
    “No, sorry Ms. Landers.   Just thought I saw a bee.”
     
    With a frown, the brown haired woman of forty or so walked away.   Lyssa still hadn’t moved and Lexa was wondering if she was in shock.   A girl with bright red hair came by, looking for a seat and Lyssa’s arm shot out.   Lexa could see Kyle making his way to their table.
     
    “Do you need a seat?   We have an empty seat.   You should sit with us.”
     
    The girl looked at Lyssa and was about to refuse.   Then Lyssa did something Lexa never thought she’d see her do in front of people.   Lyssa used her gift to influence others.   Her eyes locked onto the girl, her pupils dilated to twice their normal size and the girl stopped.   Her eyes going blank and then she smiled.   “I’d love to sit with you.”  
     
    With that the girl sat down and started eating just at Kyle came over.   Lyssa didn’t raise her gaze as she started in on her food.   Lexa raised her gaze to Kyle and smiled.
     
    “Well that’s too bad.   I’ll just have to find another table.”
     
    Lexa had to give him credit.   He smiled.   No, he smirked.   He knew he had riled Lyssa and he wasn’t going to let this little set back deter him.   After all, he had a date with Lyssa.   She gave him a secret thumbs up and a smile.   Kyle lit up and left for a table with his friends.   At least, she assumed they were his friends.
     
    Missy leaned forward, “Out with it.   Now!”
     
    That snapped Lyssa out of it and focused on the rest of them.   Anna and Missy eyed the red haired girl who ate in silence, not even paying attention to them.   Lexa was going to have to get Lyssa to fix that poor girl before they left.
     
    “I was in the library, trying to read.   Once again, he tracked me down and sat next to me.   Then he just started asking me all these yes and no questions.   Well, mostly questions that the answer to was yes.   All of a sudden, he asked me if I’d go out with him on Saturday.   Before I could stop myself, I said yes.   I tried to make an excuse after, but he wouldn’t take no for an answer since I had already said yes.   What the hell am I going to do now?”
     
    Melissa laughed heartily, “You are going to go out with him and wear some of your new clothes!”
     
    “If I wear those he’ll get the wrong impression.   He’ll think… I don’t care what he thinks, how do I get out of this?!”
     
    Anna and Missy exchanged glances.   Lyssa wasn’t acting like a normal human girl.   There was no choice. Lexa was going to have to step in.   So, she grinned at her sister and put an arm around her.
     
    “Lyssa’s shy,” she called out in a singsong voice, “Lyssa’s shy!”
     
    Lyssa was about to open her mouth to deny when she must have caught the gleam in Lexa’s eyes.   Closing her mouth, she nodded, “Maybe a little.   I’ve never gone out with anyone before.”
     
    “Maybe we can come over and help you pick out an outfit?”   Anna asked softly.  
     
    Turning her eyes to Anna, Lexa smiled.   Maybe she was making progress with her after all.   Merrily she replied, “Of course.   The four of us should brainstorm tonight!   I’ll make us dinner! We can study too.   I have
