Emily •

I had already woken up, gotten dressed, started walking to school, and I'm already half way there

While I walk along the sidewalk I look at all of the flowers surrounding me occasionally picking a few and holding them making a small bouquet

I wonder if Atlas likes flowers

I decide to pick a few more and make another small bouquet to give to him

A few minutes pass and I've finally arrived at school, I open the door and make my way to my first period

I see Atlas sitting in the seat he sat in yesterday looking out the window

I walk up to him and take my seat next to him

"Hey!" I say grabbing his attention

"Hello." He says turning to me with a soft smile

"I was picking flowers on my way to school and I made a small bouquet for you, I didn't know if you liked flowers or not but I thought maybe you do so I just deci-" I ramble on and he cuts me off

"I'll gladly take the flowers" He says softly

I nod as I reach over and hand him one of the small bouquets as he takes it holding it in his hands admiring they're beauty

"Thank you." He says turning to me with a big smile

"Of course." I say returning the same smile

"You know, no ones ever given me flowers before." He says looking down

"Really?"

"Nope, never. People think they're only meant for girls but I admire their beauty just as much. So thank you Emily."

"Of course." I say turning to face the front of the class watching the students fill the classroom

I take out my folder and pencil as that's what our teacher has asked of us everytime we enter his classroom

Everyone else takes their seats and takes out the required supplies as Mr. Brown takes his place at the front of the class

"Today we will be learning about the different regions of the world" He says with a strong tone making sure he's heard throughout the class

And with that I zone out for the remainder of the class staring at the board as he fills it with words and lines of different sorts

Explaining what something is and isn't

Class had finally ended and I started packing up all of my supplies, throwing my bag over my shoulder when finished

"Hey Emily." Atlas speaks next to me

I turn to face him to make eye contact

"Yes?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out again today, I have a friend coming over and wanted to see if you'd like to meet them."

I mean I don't know many people besides it may be good to have more social interaction in my life, and I have nothing to do today so why not

"Yeah, that'd be nice." I say with a soft smile "Just tell me what time you need me to be there so I know when to leave the house."

"I can pick you up if you'd like." He says starting to walk towards the door and I follow

"I'd really appreciate it, but if it's any trouble then I can always walk."

"No trouble at all." He says opening the door gesturing for me to go first

Atlas said he'd be here around 5:30 and it's currently 5:10, I had gotten here later than I anticipated

So now I'm rummaging through my closet deciding what to wear, casual? Casual and comfy? Decent? Decent and comfy?

Casual and comfy it is.

I decide on an oversized black hoodie, with a pair of black leggings underneath, a regular pair of socks, and my converse

I put the outfit on and go to my vanity putting my hair into a messy bun.

Checking my phone it's now 5:25 just enough time to get my bag and head out the door

I grab my bag and exit my home walking down the drive way

A few minutes pass and his car pulls up infront of my drive way

I walk towards the car as he exits the driver's side walking over to the passengers side

He opens the door and allows me to slide in making his way back over to the driver's side getting comfortable

"Thank you for picking me up." I say facing him

"You're welcome" He says as he pulls out away from the drive way

"I have to go pick up my friend too, it shouldn't take too long. I promise." He says softly as he takes a turn

I nod and start to look out the window taking in everything around me

Like how the greenery and flowers are beautifully placed infront of homes and how the clouds are shaped in such a fluffy and elegant way.

Nature is so breathtaking sometimes.

We turn down a few more roads and finally make a stop infront of a beautiful brick house with white accents to the trims of the windows and front door.

Atlas grabs his phone and starts a call putting it on speaker. It rings for alittle before the recipient answers.

On the phone

"Hello?" The person says, his voice deep

"I'm here." Atlas responds

"Okay I'll be out in a second"

Off the phone

The call ends and a few seconds later a guy exits his home with his back facing us, locking the door.
