Hwang In-Yeop

I held Sage hand as we stood outside of the school. I looked at her and gave her hand a squeeze.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You think returning to school was the right choice. I mean it's only been a few days." She said.

"We can leave." I said.

"No, I've missed enough days." She said.

I nodded and nervously bit my lip, maybe it was too soon. She still hadn't mastered her abilities yet.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"I'm sure, let's do this." She mumbled.

I nodded before we walked into the school. Sage stopped as she placed her hands over her ears, I looked at her confused.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Everyone is thinking so loudly." She groaned.

I took my headphones out of my book bag and placed them over her ears.

"Better?" I asked.

She nodded and embraced me in a tight hug. I rubbed her back before we made it to her locker.

"Hey guys." Daniel said walking up to us.

"Hey Daniel." I said.

Sage waved before opening her locker.

"Basketball after school?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah, it's been a while." I said.

"Bet." He nodded.

Sage closed her locker before leaning against it.

"You ok there little wolf?" Daniel asked.

"Huh? Yeah just thinking." Sage said.

Daniel nodded.

"You drove today or did you run?" I asked.

"I ran, mind if I ride with you?" He asked.

"That's fine." I nodded.

"How's Ash?" He asked.

"He's hungry...but not for food." I whispered glancing at Sage.

"Huh?...Oh." Daniel said.

"Yeah, we'll talk more about that later." I chuckled.

"Got ya." He nodded.

The sound of the bell filled my ears before I looked at Sage.

"I'll see you after class ok." I said.

She looked up at me and nodded before I pecked her lips. We parted ways before Daniel and I engaged in our own conversation.
