Elias barely had time to register what Lil was mumbling before Mr. Yorkie spat out some sick medieval poem, and he only realized too late that he should have recorded it on his phone because he would've made a bop out of it. Like, one of those viral compilations remixed into a song. Didn't that one "ain't nobody got time for dat" song go viral because of a similar reason? Wasn't that because of an interview? Did their stuff ever get recovered from the fire because the lady said she didn't have time to get it?
Although Elias was grinning at the thought of making Mr. Yorkie viral, he blinked and realized he missed everything he said. Something about love poems, probably. He wasn't paying attention, and he didn't even have any time to ask questions since Hazel started talking fast.
He blinked again, barely catching any of that since his brain was lagging. Something something about math and science? Oh, she liked carrot cake. That was important.
Hazel and Lil went back and forth, but then Lil went on this whole spiel about herself too. One thing really struck out to Elias, though...
Leaning back on his chair at a slight tily, Elias squinted at the ceiling above and spun his pencil around his fingers quickly over and over, which he learned to do as a makeshift fidget spinner.
L... I... L... oh. So that was how she spelled her name. Why'd she say L-L-I? Did she mean L-I-L? Well, that was okay. People make mistakes sometimes. Sometimes Elias spelled his name as Elius by accident. That was mostly because his a's look like u's sometimes, but still.
Lil then called his name, and he abruptly caught the pencil in his hand and leaned forward so the legs of the chair were flat on the ground. Elias peered down at Lil, grinning like he got this all figured out.
"My name's spelled as E-L-I-A-S," he said. "No L-L-I's for me. Just L-I's."
