Science class was about to begin. The bell had rung. It brought back painful memories: the ER, Lucas falling,.... nope, not going to think about that.
Luc and I sat together, not too close because Mr. Lopez was going to group us with people we didn't know, but not too far so we wouldn't feel alone.
"Group 1: Lucas and Naomi, Group 2: Joey and Allen, Group 3: Polly and Maxinne, Group 4: Kal and Desiree."
I looked around the classroom for Kal, but couldn't recognize his face.
Who was Kal? What kind of a name was Kal?
I stayed at my table. Hopefully this Kal guy would come here.
Lucas went off to sit beside Naomi, who looked absolutely terrified at him. I saw Lucas offering his hand for her to shake. Naomi was timidly shaking his hand.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a guy sit next to me. I turned and gave him my best smile.
"Hi!" I said.
This had to be Kal.
He had a small scar beneath his left eye. It was extremely faded, but since he sat so close to me, I could see it. He looked so familiar.
I knew him. Somehow.
