Feel Good with Her Own Skin

Kat's attention shifted from Oliver to the person beside him, only for her expression to turn to horror when she realized who it was.

"Nyx," she uttered back.

Oliver looked at Olivia, who looked uneasy as if it hadn't occurred to her that the possibility of JaNyx and Kat was a possibility outside of Huxley.

"H-h-hi, JaNyx, and Oliver!" Olivia tried to lighten the mood, but it ended up turning more awkward than intended.

"Uh, hey," Oliver said, trying to sound nonchalant. "I didn't expect to bump into you guys here."

Kat bit her lip, avoiding eye contact with both Oliver and JaNyx. JaNyx, on the other hand, looked like a deer caught in headlights; his eyes were wide and his mouth hung open. 

This was the first time, ever since they were in diapers, that Oliver had seen JaNyx act this way.

So terrified. So heartbroken.

"I told you I was going to the mall with Kat, didn't I?" Olivia reminded.
