WHO: Calvin and Gio
WHAT: Gio confronted Calvin about the big break up in a text, but Calvin wants to talk about everything in person.
WHERE: High school flagpole.
WHEN: Wednesday, Dec 8, after school ends
RATING: Low
Gio hoisted his heavier-than-usual backpack onto his shoulders and bit back a groan. As he was carrying both his and Katie's work, he had about every subject's textbook and notebook crammed in there. It was weighing him down. His thick winter coat didn't help the weight-factor either, but at least it padded his shoulders a little where the straps of his bag were trying to dig into him.
It didn't take long to get to the flagpole where he'd told Calvin to meet him, and Gio listened to the rope used to haul the flag up and down clang repeatedly against the metal pole as he waited. The wind was rough and frigid, which convinced Gio winter was here officially. There was no chance of getting off the island at all until the lake surrounding their island thawed and the ferries could cross again, like they so rarely did. Although he did suppose that cargo would have to reach them somehow, so less conventional means of getting off the island had to exist.
Enough thinking about that, though. There was a more pressing problem, and that was whatever was bothering Calvin enough not to trust Katie or himself. Gio didn't know if he could help at all, but that wasn't going to stop him trying.
