"Dr. Green?"

"I'm so happy to see you! When I read your name on the roster, I was bursting with joy." Dr. Green strolled on over to us, his steps light and happy.

"Feel the love, Doc." Silas chuckled. His hand was still lightly drifting across my shoulder blades, the touch was faint but I could feel the intense heat of his hand. "I gotta get to class. I don't think I'll be missed anyway."

The heat of his hand left my back. My body was so stiffened that I didn't realize I had been holding my breath. I exhaled a large breath as my shoulders drooped.

"I have plenty of room in my heart for you, Silas! You just don't notice it." Dr. Green called after the retreating giant.

He turned back towards me, a smile still on his face. "Come in, Sang, let's get you settled at a desk." I noticed no one else had come into the class yet, but the room was rather small. There were around fifteen desks in total with only a whiteboard and desk for Dr. Green at the front.

He pointed towards the desk at the front of the room, a corner desk closest to his desk. "You are allowed to pick your own seats, but how about that one?"

I didn't mind where I sat. I've come to discover most kids do care because they want to sit next to their friends and goof off. Thinking back to the people I've met, I thought about sitting next to Luke or Gabriel, goofing off and whispering like in the movies.

Nodding, I placed my bookbag on the back of my chair. I looked back up to see students venturing into the classroom, taking seats where they pleased.

Dr. Green leaned against the front of his desk, his hands on either sides of him as he welcomed the kids into he class with a greeting or smile. I noticed he spoke some Japanese as well.

"Dr. Green?" I had a question I wanted to ask him. My curiosity took over my nervousness. "How do you know Japanese so well?"

"Well, I was adopted by my parents, who were both Japanese. I lived for some years in Japan, and then decided to come back to the U.S, which is where I work as both a doctor and a teacher now." He didn't mind the question. In fact, he seemed to be excited that I had asked such a personal question.

"Oh, that's very cool. You're fluent?"

"Fluent and proud." He gave me an affirmative nod.

Another student came into the classroom. I glanced over to see that he was on his phone, tapping very quickly as he didn't watch what was in front of him.

"Victor! Glad you could make it." I heard Dr. Green's voice from beside me.

Victor? I remember hearing his name before, when I was with Dr. Green and the twin brothers. I looked back towards the boy in the doorway.

This boy, who was apparently Victor, appeared to be around the same height as Gabriel. I noticed he was slim, his button up shirt fitted nicely to his lean waist. Even from the distance between us, his clothes looked so soft to touch, pricey.

His hair was a gentle brown color, not too dark or light. It was long enough to brush against the tip of his shoulders, and wavy. The texture, like his clothing, seemed so soft to touch. There wasn't a friz to it at all.
