Gabriel wasn’t too sure just the phone was the best idea, but at least it was something.

He was still a mess of thoughts. He was excited to get to know Sang. He wanted to help her, save her from whatever she was going through. Her hair, he wanted to braid it, or trim it, see what he could do with it. When she was alone with him in the bathroom, she asked him so many questions, made him feel like she wanted to get to know him, to be around him. It was all of a few minutes in there alone with her and he was trying to give her some good attention. He was eager to do it again just to get that feeling back.

Still in Kota’s bedroom, Nathan got up on his knees on the floor. “I’m hungry. I’m going to go steal a sandwich, Kota.”

“There’s a couple of frozen ones in the freezer,” Kota said. “Heat it up in the microwave for a minute.”

Nathan pointed a finger at Sang. “Do you want one? I’ll bring you up one. I know you haven’t eaten yet.”

She seemed unsure, checking in with Kota.

“It’s perfectly fine,” Kota said.

Nathan disappeared down the stairs.

No one offered Gabriel one? He was slightly offended. He thought about heading downstairs to get one for himself, but he didn’t want to leave the room. Not when she was still up here. He wanted to stay with her.

“Now,” Kota began after Nathan left. “We should probably talk about school and your classes.”

“Classes?” she asked.

She looked at Gabriel, but he waited to see what she thought. Seemed like a weird thing to go over. Didn’t Kota want to know anything else? Like fun stuff? What’s her favorite music? Weren’t they supposed to get to know her better so they could help figure out what they could do?

Or maybe this was how he was going to get to know her. Still, Gabriel wanted to interrupt, to get him to talk about other things, but he couldn’t find the words without appearing rude.

Kota nodded. “Registration is the day after tomorrow. Your parents will be taking you?”

Oh that’s right. She’s going to the same school. They could see her there. And the classes...they could share a lot of classes if they picked the same ones.

She nodded. “My dad.”

Gabriel scooted over next to her. With Victor gone, it was a chance to sit near her. “Art class, right?”

Sang smiled, light and sweet. “If they don’t mind stick figures,” she said softly.

The way she did that made Gabriel’s insides light and fluttery. Too cute.

Kota got up to move to his desk and opened a drawer. He pulled out an envelope, the one he got from the school. “This is the list of classes that will be available.”

He opened it to reveal several printed pages. Some of the classes were highlighted in various colors. They’d gone over them dozens of time. They hadn’t been to a real school in years.

Gabriel wasn’t even sure he’d mind homework.
