[color=a187be]"H-huh?"[/color]  The sweet voice of her friend seemed to have pulled her from whatever daze she was in.  Harley, she could barely remember anything else before.  There was something about an assignment and...lab coats?  [color=a187be]"Oh!  Hang on!  Lemme see!"[/color]  She replied with a genuine smile of her own.  Reaching into her back pocket, she pulled out her slightly crumpled schedule and smoothed it out on the table, skimming over it shortly.  [color=a187be]"Hmm, let's see here...Hey!  Looks like I got a free period next! 
 Y'all got anything?"[/color]  Harley turned to Natalia sporting a grin.

[i][color=a187be]Phew!  Good!  I dunno if I can take any more classes right now!  It'll be good just to take a break, get my mind clear.  Hopefully, Nat's got free period too so we can hang out.  Umm...that is...if she ain't mad at me still.  I mean, I don't reckon she is, but...[/color][/i]

"Miss Lewis."  Mr. Felton grinned shaking her hand.  "It's a pleasure to meet you.  I'm glad you have arrived on such short notice.  I was worried nobody would be coming for poor Samuel here."

It warmed his heart too to see how close Sam and Amelia were to this woman.  It made him think of perhaps how he wanted to be to his new son.  Admittedly, even for a man set for life, being a father was a tough responsibility, and he had hoped in this city, his son didn't end up on the wrong side of the tracks...like his brother.

Adjusting his specs, the man smiled giving a nod.  "Well now, I'm glad to see the situation is under control."  But suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket.  "If you'll excuse me, I need to take this.  Again, Miss Lewis, thank you for taking care of Samuel.  Goodbye now."  He smiled again turning around and pulling his phone from the pocket of his blazer...but when he saw the contact name, he frowned and sighed bitterly.

[i]No...not him, dammit.[/i]

Meanwhile, Helena struggled a bit holding Samuel up.  Kid looked like hammered shit to her and felt like he stood in front of an industrial heater all day long.  Hearing that that Grace chick was their nanny kinda surprised her.  [color=f7941d][i]A nanny?  Jeez, these kids must be loaded as fuck.  Well I mean they have to be to be attending this fancy ass school.[/i][/color]

She'll admit too...it bothered her to see how loving the woman was.

Turning away from the sight of Amelia hugging the woman, she grimaced, even listening to how saccharine her words were to the little nerd.  [i][color=f7941d]Gag!  Talk about a cuteness overload!  I'd rather listen to my dad or Darry yelling at me over this shit...then again...[/color][/i]

[color=f7941d]"Hey kid."[/color]  Helena looked down at Samuel.  [color=f7941d]"You feeling okay?  You're not gonna turn into a zombie or start puking blood, are you?"[/color]  Dryly Helena quipped.  To be fair, she was a little concerned, especially when the kid pretty much looked like the walking dead.
