SCHOOL MEETING

Since it was lunch break, Eli decided to send Belle to St. Francis Academy instead. They just grabbed something to eat from the nearest drive-thru and ate their food on the way to school. Belle had to feed Eli his burger and fries since he was driving. 

As friends, none of them minded their actions. No one felt awkward about it, too. 

"We're here," Eli told Belle while slowly stopping his car several steps from the school gate. "I'll bring the gifts later on my way home. Let me know if you need something else so I can buy it on the way." 

"Got it. Thank you for sending me here, Eli. Drive safely and be sure to send me a message when you get back to the hospital." 

Eli watched her leave and get inside the school campus after showing the letter to the guard. [How many times have I watched her leave from my side?] Eli thought while keeping his eyes on her until she finally disappeared from his sight.
