Carlos just smiled a bit wider and nodded his
head. He set down his physics book and slid into the seat. He arranged his
notebook next to the text book so he could write on it and he went back to
work, still smiling a bit.

Yeah, it was a little awkward sitting across
from Daisy. She was obviously a little nervous. But Carlos wasn’t here to give
her a hard time, so she shouldn’t have to worry. A bit of companionship went a long way, sometimes.

Of course there was an urge to ask why, to question any motives for him to do this but from what little David knew Carlos was a fairly nice person. Maybe it was just pity.

He fidgeted and tried to read again, too nervous to try to initiate a conversation. He didn’t want to say the wrong thing, didn’t want to push it. It never seemed to end well when he tried.

Eyes did wander from the page, curiously looking at the physics book before deciding it was probably best to mind his own business.

Carlos was soon engrossed in his physics
homework, formulas and numbers running through his head as he worked on the
equations.

However he did notice Daisy lift her head to
look at his book, and Carlos glanced up to look at her. He gave her yet another
kind smile before looking down again and writing in the answer for his current
equation.

“Are you… taking a spirituality class?” he
asked suddenly. “Or… maybe a mythology class?”
