Jase watched the two girls, feeling vaguely amused. He barely even knew them, but so far, he liked them. There was something about that Jessica girl that reminded him of himself a few years back, it was something in her smile, an extra twinkle in her eyes, it made him realise how much he had changed. He had been like that, but now it had all faded. He was becoming more ordinary by the day. "So, tell me something about yourselves, what makes you smile, what makes you want to dance, what makes you feel like throwing heavy objects at people?" he asked out of the blue, wrapping his arms around his legs and looking up at them both with interest.

Leilah turned and looked at Jase and raised an eyebrow and pointed at herself. “Me?” she said in her strong Arabic accent. “I’m Arabic and that’s really the only exotic and ordinary thing about me. I can speak fluent Arabic and that’s about it. I like reading and Jessica here says I’m good at acting...but I’m not quite confident enough,” she said, smiling sheepishly.

''Me?'' Leilah and Jessica had asked at the same time. But (something unusual on her), Jessica allowed Leilah to speak first. ''C'mon, you are good. you only need a bit more of self-comfidence. Hey I din't know you could speak Arabic. That's cool! So...there's nothing very special about me, except that I never knew my parents and I was raised in an orphanage. Mrs Turner adopted me when I was seven...and that's all. Oh, and I've kept changing schools all my life coz I was such a troublemaker...But don't worry!'', she added quickly, ''I never cause problems unless there's a very good reason for it.'' She remembered what Jase had said a few minutes ago about smiling, dancing and throwing heavy objects to people. <<Heavy objects, huh...?>>, she thought her eyes sparkled mischeviously. ''You know...'' she said slowly, in a thoughtful tone and addressing to no one in particular. ''I don't think you need a reason to smile...but if you don't smile, you must have a reason not to." She remained silent for a split second, then apologised. ''Sorry. Another of my spontaneous philosophical speeches." Jessica shook her head and smiled brightly.
