Everett sat on his own in the library, far away from everyone else as he worked on his homework. He heard that Shihong and Sora were back in school now, and he was terrified so he wanted to hide away from everyone else. He didn't even tell Yongliang where he was hiding. His heart was beating so hard in his chest. After a month of peace, it seemed like a tornado was coming. He felt like anything could happen.
"Hey, Everett?" a voice said, causing him to almost jump out of his skin. Shaking slightly, Everett turned his head before breathing in relief when he saw that it was Shaoqing. Shaoqing looked a little nervous, staring at the ground instead of making eye contact with Everett. Everett has never had the chance to really talk to him yet. "Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah," Everett said, nodding his head and nodding at the seat across from him. Shaoqing glanced around before nervously climbing into the seat. Everett stared at him in concern. "I… I don't want to go home."
