That looked like acknowledgement to Carlos.
Just a little lift of the hand… but it was something. Though she still seemed
to really be shy though.

Carlos wondered if anyone had given Daisy any
trouble since what happened in the locker room. Probably, he thought – this was high school.

An idea struck Carlos. He decided to use the minor social
opening Daisy had given him, so he grabbed his books and moved to the spot
across from her on the table.

Carlos smiled at her pleasantly. “Hey. Mind if I sit?” he
asked her.

David read over a paragraph in the book, or his eyes scanned the page but he didn’t feel like he had absorbed it. Something about how telekinesis was gaining some popularity in fiction. 

Well, fiction didn’t help him anyway.

Green eyes glanced up as the boy took a seat, curiosity coming to his features though he didn’t say anything, not yet. Not until Carlos spoke first.

David shook his head, slowly finding his voice. “Go ahead.” It wasn’t what he expected to hear. People didn’t usually willingly want to be near him, not without a less than friendly motive but Carlos had never outright contributed to anything. Not that he was aware of, anyway.

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.
