Delilah....

Okay. Okay! You're brave enough to do this. What are you even worried about? She's not even better than you! What's she going to do, grow horns and attack you? Hah, no way! It's risk free.

You slowly walk up to her, eyes glued onto her forehead, as she carries on about her squats. When you get close enough for her eyes to flick over and notice you, she looks back to the front again and carries on squating. When you get even closer, and open your mouth to speak, she pipes up first as her face lights up in a bright smile and she looks over towards you again.

"Oh, Debbie, perfect timing!"

You pause. "Really?" You ask. This feels a bit like a trap -- did she really change this much on her own, just over the weekend?

She nods enthusiastically. "Mhm! {if JaceMirandaWeek2 == True}{if DelilahGotYa == True}I was just about to start enjoying myself. Your streak would have been ruined."{else}I was just thinking about how unfair it was that you spent time with my roommate, and I got left out."

"Really??" You repeat, very baffled.

"No, you suck and I pity him."{endif}{elseif DelilahGotYa == True}I was just about to start enjoying myself. Your streak would have been ruined."{else}I was just about to forget that you were in my class. The letdown next period would have been unbearable."{endif}

Oh. Yeah, okay no, that's more like what you were expecting. But you won't let it get you down. There is a palpable pause as you consider what to do next, though.

"Doin' squats?" You ask.

Delilah stops doing squats. She stands up fully straight, and just stares at you unblinking. Right into your eyes. She doesn't even move at all, and just lets her arms hang by her sides.

"{if DelilahGotYa == True}S-so, thanks again for letting me.... stay in...... y'know.....{else}So, um, did you have..... was your, uh..... was your weekend.....{endif}" You drift off slowly, Delilah still focused wholly on you. Even though she's staring, unmoving, and unblinking, her eyes are still sharp and haven't glazed over even a little bit -- your eyes, on the other hand, have decided to give similar treatment to a spot on the wall near to her. "Th-thank you{if DelilahGotYa == True}!{else}.{endif}"

You turn on your heel and march back into the middle of the Gym. G-geez, you definitely won't try that again soon! That was so scary, you almost thought you were about to die!

You shoot a quick glance over your shoulder at her to calm yourself back down, but it doesn't work when you see that she hasn't gone back to squatting and her head is still completely locked on tracking you. AAAHH!!
