"So I have to go to fricken Germany, for the summer" August said finishing a third bag of chips

"Maybe it'll be fun, you can have fun" Rai said confused

"No y'all don't understand I can't go, I have to stay, the thing, Alder, Hello, I want to stay here" August said

"Yeah, but it's your mom, she isn't going to change her mind" Rai said

"And she most definitely isn't going to let you stay with your dad" Flynn said

"Yeah, she won't, there has got to be some other way" August said trying to think

"There's-

"Hey uhm guys does anyone know where the Language classes are" Matthew said

"The language class" August said questioned

"I know where they are" Elysia said stepping up

"Come on, I have to get to class anyway, see ya guys" Elysia said waving and smiling

"See I can't leave El behind, did you guys see the way she smiled and waved at me" August said

"Her pink little-

"August???" Rai said

"No you idiot" August said hitting Rai's head

"Her nails, brainless" August said putting his hands over his eyes

"I hate this" He said

"I gotta get to class" He said leaving

"There's got to be something we can do" Rai said

"So are those guys your friends" Matthew asked

"Yeah they are" Elysia said

"What about that August guy, he seems to really really like you more than as a friend" He said getting the door for Elysia

"Thank you, and I know that he likes me, but sometimes he can be a bit overbearing and well I don't like overbearing" She said laughing a bit

"Oh yeah, I can understand, sometimes my sister can be that way, like "MATTHEW IF YOU DON'T CLEAN THIS PLACE" and she immediately starts getting all the cleaning supplies " Matthew said

"Yeah, we don't like overbearing, we are normal" Elysia said

"I'm sorry for asking I'm just trying to get to know you guys" He said

"It's fine, I don't mind" She said

"Are you from here" He asked

"No" She laughed

"I'm from Canada, but I know all the local stops" She said giggling

"Thats great because I need someone to show me them" He said laughing

"Hey maybe you could" He said

"Well I have nothing else to do" She said putting her brow up

"Alright when our classes are over, I'll show you around" She said

"Thanks Elysia" Matthew said

"Alright here's the language classes, which are you taking" Elysia asked

"I'm actually taking Korean" He said

"Really" Elysia said

"Do you speak some, August speaks some Korean" She asked

"Sure uhm, let me see, oh I know, dangsin-eun jeongmal chinjeolhago yeppeun yeojayeyo" Matthew said smiling

"Oh what does that mean" Elysia said

"It means you are a very kind and pretty girl" Matthew said smiling

"Is that meant to be for me" She said smiling

Matthew shook his head

"Aww thank you, that's so nice" She said smiling

"Alright get to class so you can learn a lot more-oh wait" Elysia said smiling

"Hey, August is that quiz tomorrow or Tuesday" A boy asked

"Tuesday dude, start paying more attention" August said scrolling through his phone

"How're you going to tell me to pay attention, and you're literally addicted to your phone" the boy said

"New Friend"

"What the hell" August said out loud as the teacher turned around

"Y'all" August said

"Look at this" He said grabbing his phone

"What about it" Rai said

"That Matthew boy why is he in a picture with Elysia" August said

"Because she took a picture with him, titled new friend, because she made a friend" Rai said confused

"Yeah, but... I knew there was a reason I didn't like this boy" August said

"August it's just a damn picture" Rai said

"Yeah and we figured out a way to keep you here" Flynn said

"Y'all did, ouuu tell me how" August asked

"Well, we're going to talk to your mom" They said

"My mom, no use she won't listen" August said

"Oh Really" Flynn said

"Everyone repeat"

"na-egen sagwaga du gae iss-eoyo"

"na-egen sagwaga du gae iss-eoyo" Matthew said

"Damn man, you're really awesome" A guy said

"Oh thanks, I just study though" Matthew said half smiling

"Yea, well shit, we have a quiz today, I'll give you $550 if you help me" The guy said

"I'm Tony" He said

"Hello, Tony, not sure how you want me to help you but, I can" He said

"Great, the quiz is basically the basics, so it can't be that hard, we'll learn soon as this class is out" He said.

"Oh," Matthew said

"Mrs. Lever, your son is a phenomenal man, as a matter of fact he's inspired many kids to be just like him" Flynn said

"As a matter of fact this summer we are holding this event, where there will be millions of little boys looking for fine young role models like, August here" Rai said pulling the flyer out

"We understand your need for him to get to know his rich family history, but this cause is far more important, I mean we are talking about molding the minds of young boys here, for the better" Flynn said

"Oh, my, I didn't realize August was participating in all of this, well I I just can't say no" She said

"Oh, but I really would like for him to show up with me, but if it must be this way, August son I had no idea you were doing things so big" She said smiling

"Alright then, you can stay but on one condition you call me everyday, and tell me what you did to help those young boys" She said

"I got it mom, will do" He said

"As a matter of fact, I'm going to go say hello to some children" August said leaving

"This late in the ev- August?

"That actually worked" August said

"Hell yeah it did" Rai said high fiving Flynn

"Wow y'all are like mind reader people or something" He said

"Pretty sure it's marketers" Flynn said

"Hey Matthew" Elysia said

"Come on let's go" She said

"Alright where we going" Tony said

"Who are you" Tony said

"His friend" She said grabbing Matthew's arm to lift him from the chair

"Woah no need to get all territorial, lioness" Tony said

"I don't like this guy" Elysia said

"Hey man, be respectful to my friend" Matthew said

"Where are we going first" Tony said

"Why'd you have to bring this guy along, he's loud and abrasive" She said

"I told him I'd help him with his Korean" Matthew said

"Alright Tony we can do Korean while we explore" Matthew said

"So you new here, how about you sweetheart, cant say I've seen you before" Tony said

"No I am not new" Elysia said crossing her arms

"Look here you idiot you are either going to shut up and listen to Matthew teach you Korean and us explore, or GO AWAY!!!" Elysia said

"Fine I'll listen then" He said

"And here is the coffee shop, a good place I recommend" She said smiling

"Oh I've been here and the coffee is good, they have the best beans here I'm telling you" Tony said

"What else is there, Elysia" Matthew said slightly raising his voice and speeding up by Elysia

"Alright this is the local store, they sell a bunch of fresh produce and as a matter of fact I need to get a few stuff" She said laughing

"Really" He said

"Well let's go" He said grabbing her hand and going in

"What do you need" He said grabbing a cart

"I don't know let me see" She said

"Apples, and flour, and honey, and some other stuff, oh my list is here, right on my phone" She said

"Oh my goodness" Elysia said

"We have no car" She said face slapping herself

"Thats alright I'll just call my sister, hey Matthew, I'm g- Matthew?

"You guys make the best donuts in this town" Tony said

"Let's just leave him where he is" Elysia said

"Here Elysia let me get them" Matthew said grabbing the groceries

"My sister should be here in a minute" He said smiling

"I hope you liked the experience and everything in town" Elysia said

"Yeah, I'm sorry I bought that loudmouth along, I wanted to tell it to him multiple times, but I just couldn't find the words" he said

"It's fine Matthew, I'm just glad you like the town, at first I hated this place, but everyone showed me some awesome spots in town" She said

"You can be my friend now" She said grabbing his arm

Beep beep

"Mateo" a woman called

"There's my sister" Matthew said

"Hey mei mei, Elysia needs to go home and we only left school therefore her car is at home" Matthew said

"Well it is nice you help this girl, Elysia hello" She said

"Hello, you have a very kind brother" Elysia said

"I know, he is a good boy, isn't he" Mei said smiling back at Matthew

"Hey guys where is Elysia" August said

"I thought she was showing Matthew around town" Rai said

"WHAT!!!!" August said

"Yeah dude that guy" Flynn said

"You know, she is always giving love and kindness, actually most girls are like that" Rai said

"Yeah, she likes you, she just wants to help everyone, she should stop doing that because it could end bad for her" Flynn said

"Thanks Mei for the ride, and thank you Matthew for the help" Elysia said

"You're welcome" Mei said.

"Have a nice day, Elysia" Matthew said

Elysia set her groceries down and went straight to the bathroom to wash

"Alright, I have to call the guys to check up on them" She said setting her pallette down as she opened the curtain

"AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHH"

"I didn't mean to scare you"
