From Another World 4: Ghost In A Machine.

Chapter 03: New Friend New School.

Forster parked at the Middle School, and noticed that Kathy was standing at the front of the school, with a boy her age, with black hair, and tanned skin. Kathy then noticed Forster at the front of the school.

"Forster, I made a new friend," Kathy said. "This is Andre. He just moved in next to Mr. General, and Mother Borg." "Hola," Andre said. "Oh god, she became friends with a Mexican," Forster whispered. "Andre taught me how to say the most new interesting words, and even showed me the spiciest foods that he eats," Kathy explained. "Si, I hope you enjoyed them," Andre said. "That's great, Kathy, but we need to get you to Gordon's before it gets dark," Forster explained.

"See you tomorrow, Andre," Kathy said. "Adiós," Andre waved. Kathy got in the shuttle, and placed her backpack next to the pumpkin in the seat. Forster closed the shuttle door behind Kathy, once she got in the shuttle, and drove off to Gordon's house while the road still was clear of leaves. "I can't wait to go home," Kathy said.

"Nice to see that you made a new friend at school," Ellie said. "Yeah, but it's too bad he's from a family of illegal aliens," Forster commented. "Forster," Ellie snapped. "What's illegal, and wait, Andre's an alien like me?" Kathy asked. "Not that kind of alien, Kathy," Ellie answered. "Forster's just worried about you fitting in with the wrong crowd." "If you think I'm worried, just wait until Gordon gets to meet him, and his family," Forster said. "They'll be out of town, and back to Earth after packing for days."

"I don't recall any of this," Kathy said, and Forster stopped the car. "Kathy, before I finish driving there is something I want to bring up, that I didn't before," Forster explained. "Oh my god, why now," Ellie commented. "The human race has separated into different cultures since the birth of mankind," Forster explained. "And some of those cultures are not good. For example, Ellie, and I are from a culture that stays with their families, does not get involved with anything bad, and always respect each other. Your new friend however is from a culture that involves a different language, and of course get in a lot of trouble with our culture." "Are you saying that Andre might be a monster in disguise?" Kathy asked. "What, no I'm not saying that at all," Forster answered.

"He's just worried about you, Kathy," Ellie explained. "He doesn't want you to lose any happy dignity like drug addiction, or alcohol abuse, because everyone gets addicted to that." "I'm almost 13," Kathy said. "I can take care of myself now, that Lord Specter is after us." "Specter might be gone, but you need to watch out for what Earth has to offer you," Forster explained. "Your planet might be destroyed, but our planet is very dangerous in terms of what race everyone is." Forster then placed his hands back on the wheel, then drove towards Gordon's. "Well, on the bright side, COVID-19 didn't hit us," Ellie said.
