You eat breakfast with your aunt, help her clear the table, and leave for school.
Grey Springs - Outskirts
You zone out as you walk the usual way to school; it's only been a few days but you're already getting so used to it it feels like you could walk this route with your eyes closed. Then you hear someone calling your name behind you. You turn around, and see Julian hurrying towards you, with Ezra following at a more relaxed pace behind him.
Julian
"Are you ready are you ready are you ready?" He's out of breath and he gives you an intense look as if he's asking you something important. You're not sure how to react.
Ezra
"Don't pay attention to him," he says with a sigh, a tired smile on his face. "He'll be like this until we actually get to the club, then get bored within the first five minutes and never talk about it again."
Julian
"That's not true! I'm gonna act so invested."
Ezra
"You are going to act invested?"
Julian speeds up his pace, he doesn't react to Ezra, almost like he didn't hear him. He chants "Let's go let's go let's go" as he does so; you wonder if he's saying it for you and Ezra or just himself. Ezra sighs again.
