The Sully children began walking home quietly, they held soft conversations about how their classes were and who they thought were cute. Everyone except Lo'ak spoke, he refused to even open his mouth. Lo'ak was still quite shocked by the whole situation, he knew he was probably unwanted but it did seem a bit funny and complicated about the whole thing. Who even was he?

" Lo'ak? Bro, you haven't spoken the entire time! Who did you find cute at least." Spider nudged his shoulder. " The teacher?" Lo'ak replied. " Oh no ma brotha, you put that thought right back in the jail bill." Neteyam said quickly. Lo'ak chuckled and shook his head. " Nobody fools." Lo'ak rolled his eyes and walked off. Lo'ak crossed the street and went without the other Sully children, not fully looking up and instead taking out his phone.

Thud. Ow... He had bumped into some and dropped his phone. " Sorry, I..." Lo'ak looked down to see a female wearing skates, she was beautiful. He flushed before helping her up and making sure she kept her balance. " That's what I get for not fully learning how to skate." She chuckled and fixed her uniform. " You okay?" Lo'ak asked normally. " Yep! Thanks! Sorry, I'm trying to pick my older brother up before he runs off so I'm in a bit of a rush." She smiled weakly.

Lo'ak only nodded and smiled letting her go past him. He looked back and the Sully's stood there. Neteyam crossing his arms, Kiri taking photos, and Spider awing the girl herself. " I call her." Is all Lo'ak said. " She's from middle school!" Neteyam gasped. " Okay so she's 13? I just turned 14!" Lo'ak rolled his eyes. " Damn. She is pretty." Spider stated. " Go find someone who wouldn't consider romance pedophilic behavior." Lo'ak huffed.

" Yea what about that cute guy from your Chem class?" Kiri suggested. " Ya you couldn't stop talking about him." Neteyam chimed in. " Nah, I could never, honestly." Spider shrugged. " Well, make friends with him." Kiri suggested. The two Sully gossip girls continued to try and persuade both of the boys to at least communicate with their newfound crushes. It was until they made it home that all conversations stoped just in case Neytiri was home.

They stepped into the house to smell the rich scent of cocoa beans and rice being cooked in the kitchen. Jake was on the couch trying to help Tuktiery with her homework but he never fully understood much of anything outside of cultures and science due to his lack of school back in the day. He had dropped out to join the war at just 12 years old, they were in desperate times. " Hey kiddos, how was school?" Jake smiled and helped them set their backpacks on the bench near the door since that was Neytiri's new rule.

" It's was good, nothing unusual." Neteyam responded for them all. " Okay, don't go into the kitchen because I nearly passed out in there..." Jake warned and the Sully children couldn't help but chuckle. " We'll be in our rooms doing...homework." Kiri stated and the Sully children separated from their little group and all continued their separate lives in their rooms. Outside of school they rarely spoke and they all had their own set of friends even if they sat together at lunch. It was tradition.

Neteyam remained in his room, working on homework and checking it over with a website. Many would consider it cheating but he normally got all the answers right anyways. He placed down his pen and pushed aside his notebook, grabbing his sketch book. Neteyam did normally draw, and he was good at it. He liked to draw the things he saw rather than what he thought about. Today's topic was....a cute student from the upperclassman!

He began with the face, he had a sharp jawline but massive eyes that he compared to a bug, even if they did look more like puppy eyes. He shaped his face and he smiled at it before continuing to his hair, he had curls that shined really nicely in the night, showing that he cared for his hair. He held it in a bun and he has hidden dimples whenever he smiled truthfully. They were thin dimples but they could be visible if you really looked at them. Lastly, his body. He stood tall and his uniform was nicely shaped and covered his body perfectly. It is finished. The boy with no name has come to life.

Neteyam put the sketchbook back and as he started to set his clothes for the shower he imagined how sweet yet quiet the boy looked, maybe he was different? Neteyam grabbed his clothes and skincare before walking to the bathroom and preparing the shower. How would this go? Was it meant to be? This boy...tall and fair, was it a mistake to even lay eyes on him?
