My spores been growing by the day; my days been shining bright
Mateo is as brazenly social as Everest is awkward, and he swings his legs off the side of the bench and shakes the boy's hand with confidence and a dimpled smile. "Everest? That's a cool name," he says.
"It's nice to meet you. And thanks for saving my homework with your face." Speaking of which, he reaches across for the paper with the looped writing all over it. Mateo still has a long way to go before reaching Remi's penmanship, but he's trying. It's just another way to feel closer to parents who are currently far away.
"Oh? What'cha researching?" he wonders, scooting closer even as Ever has moved further away, that he might peek over his shoulder at the notebook to see what he's up to.
