The plastic tray felt strange beneath Jordan. It was like being on a flat slide. The ground was smooth and slick yet it was able to support him. However, any movement made by him or Sara made was enough to throw him off balance.
Behind him, large glass walls rose well above his height and stature. Steam wafted into the air from the mixture of foods available. As Jordan eyed the options he couldn’t get over how different this private school is in comparison to his public school. Actual chefs walked about with food that looked better than he ever ate at home.
The booming voices of Sara and this new girl he had gathered was named Stephanie left him feeling awkward. He could see her stealing glances at him every so often with a fascination behind her eyes he felt a bit unnerving. Once Chloe approached however Jordan could see the tension in Stephanie’s body change. While Jordan hadn’t figured out the complete hierarchy of this school he knew Chloe must have been higher up than this Stephanie whom she labeled a gossip.
“How’s your school day been?” Chloe said. A long pause grew before Jordan noticed she was talking to him and not Sara. Jordan looked over at Sara before expecting her to answer before finally replying back that it was fine.
“He’s upset because according to Mrs. Waller he will be retaking classes,” Sara said with a bit of a giggle as she moved down the line waiting to pay.
The school is nice enough to let you attend for free though. You should really be more thankful. They are just including your tuition as a part of mine.”
“Oh…yeah some of these laws don’t seem fair to them. I don’t quite see why just because he got sick with smallara and wasn’t immune that somehow invalidates his education.” Chloe said as she looked down at Jordan with a sympathetic look.
“It does, but you know it’s people like my mom,” Sara said nonchalantly before looking down at Jordan. “You don’t have to worry though. I’m going to make sure my whitto man has the best education.” Sara added before returning to her conversation with Chloe.
“Which is so weird to me as your mom’s like a nurse and works at the hospital,” Chloe said
“Well, she doesn’t hate them or anything. She still provides proper care. she just…” Sara said with a pause as her eyes glanced down at Jordan before returning to Chloe. “old fashioned.”
