At that moment his phone lit up

One new massage from:
Sapnap

Karl unlocked his phone a bit to fast as soon as he read the notification. Fast he opened their chat and read the message:
Hey Karl, it's me Sapnap. I waned to ask if you had time tomorrow I would like to hang out with you!
Karl thought to long about the way he should response but he was already sure about his answer: yes.
After a while he typed:
Hey Sap, I am free this weekend and I would be happy to hang out!
Anxious he waited for Sapnap to text back and to Karl's surprise he responded quickly:
Cool, how about we go to the zoo tomorrow!

Karl:Ok, can't wait:)! When should I be there?

Sapnap:How about 12?

Karl:Sure.See you there.

Sapnap: ok,bye 👋

Karl smile to himself as he went to change into his pyjamas. As he woke up the next day, he groaned and thought about what woke him up when he smelled something. Curious and still tired he tried to remember what the sent belonged to. Suddenly he remembered:
Breakfast! To be exact pancakes(his favourite).
But who was making them? Maby a murderer had broken in and felt a bit hungry? Slowly he got out of bed and put on socks. He snuck down the stairs from where he could see the kitchen. It wasn't a murderer or something else that wanted to harm him. There in the kitchen were...

His mother finally put the plate with the pancakes on the table and they all sat down. His mother gestured to the pancakes and he grabbed one with his fork immediately. While his parents filled their plates too he grabbed the maple syrup and put a bit more than enough on his pancakes. He loved anything sweet. At first silence filled the room as his father finally spoke up: " so... how is school?"
"Good" Karl answered. It wasn't wrong. His grades where ok. To not let this start of a conversation die down he asked: "Why are you here and why did you guys take the day off?"
His mother answered: " A friend of ours had told us that he started spending time with his son and that it was the best decision he had made in a while. We thought we could try that too. You know, be better parents to you."
Karl felt so happy about those words. He had thought all those years off being alone had made him a bit less needy of love but those words where like something was taken off of his back. Something that made breathing hard.
Then he looked at the clock. "Oh no" he thought. It was 11:40. In twenty minutes he was supposed to meet with u.
