103 Meeting and old friend

As Rocky walked out of the principal's office, he found a smiling middle aged man waiting outside for him, as for a moment Rocky's face beamed with joy.

"Pope Cole!" Rocky said, sounding exhilarated as he chuckled and rushed up to greet the man.

The red eyed Sophia, who followed Rocky out of Liam's cabin, felt confused by Rocky's reaction, as she warily noticed Rocky's interaction with the man from a distance.

"Oh bless the Gemini Gods, you look so strong! It's only been a few months since I last saw you" Pope Cole said, as tears of joy began flowing down his cheeks upon noticing Rocky's transformation.

Rocky was much taller and stronger than Pope Cole last saw him, so his astonishment upon seeing him again was justified, however, Rocky felt embarrassed by his exaggerated reaction when he began crying non-stop.
