No one noticed it at all when we sat next to each other. No one asked why we were sitting together now. After all, it had started before Ocean had taken time off of school.

They did, however, ask where Ocean had been. Even Coach Dickson had asked him after first period. Coach had needed to wait for practice to be over before he could say anything about it and ask why Ocean was away. However, class started too soon, and he had to wait until after the bell rang.

"I was visiting family. My aunt is sick, and we weren't sure if she was going to make it. It was pretty tense, and my parents thought it was best that I go to see her, just in case, you know."

"So you were gone a week over that?" The coach looked pretty angry about it.

"Hey, she is the only aunt that I have. I think it was a wise decision of my parents to take me with them." He shrugged and tried to put an end to that.
