Who: Calvin, Ciri and Tad
When: midday
Where: the Kelleys' place.
What: Homework (maybe) and lunch.
Tad gathered his homework and packed it in his bag, leaving his room and locking the door behind him. Heading to the Kelleys' room, he reached into his pocket to take hold of the sparkling rock he had found yesterday with Cassie. Someone must have liked it before and he was going to put it to good use as well. His heart thumped hard as his footsteps sounded on the stone floor, thoughts flickering between Calvin who had complimented him (Roger too) and Ciri. He had little idea why he liked the two, but they were so happy and he wanted to be happy too.
Was being nice to people going to make him happy? How could he make friends? Did he have to be older in order to do that? Puzzling questions swirled around and distracted him as he walked. They were making him weaker, these people, turning him softer. His stomach flip-flopped and warmed like it did when Lucile baked cookies for him. Before he knew it, he reached the door and knocked on it with red cheeks and a quick pounding heart. Ciri opened the door after a little while and grinned at him. "Hi," he said softly and walked in when Ciri stepped back to let him inside the place. "I found something nice." Tad pulled the quartz out of his pocket and held it out for her to take.
"Wow!" Ciri took the rock and lifted it up to the light to see it sparkle. "It is wonderful! Where did you find it? Are you going to put it on the windowsill? It can catch the light and then you have rainbows all over your floor." He walked to the sofa to sit down on it and removed a notebook from his bag - English, unfortunately.
First he had to answer her questions. "Cassie and me found it in a secret room. I'm going to put it on my table because it looks nice there," he said. "I got some pictures too of outside places and people smiling. They have words on the back with names and stuff." Tad shrugged. He hadn't paid attentention to the names of the people in the pictures, but maybe it was the nice thing to do. Ciri liked hearing about the secret room already, he could tell by the way she smiled.
