You had recently joined the group of friends of Charlie's. Nick, Tao, Elle, Dracy and Tara.Like 1 month ago. Now. It's Monday, Mr.Ajayi and Mr.Farouk decided to take the class for a trip.To the aquarium. The others had wandered off somewhere between the fish tanks and the turtle pool. You'd noticed the way Elle pulled Tao along by the sleeve, Nick gently nudging Charlie toward a tank of glowing sea creatures. It left you and Isaac,just the two of you,seated in front of the jellyfish display,on a bench. It was quiet here. Dark except for the soft blue light of the tank and the slow, hypnotic pulse of translucent creatures drifting like dream,thoughts in water. Isaac sat beside you, close but not too close. Book in hand, fingers fidgeting with the corner of the page he hadn’t turned in ten minutes. You looked at him then,not the jellyfish, not the glowing blues,purples and pinks,but him. His profile. The way his eyes didn’t move from the book, like he was afraid if he turned, something real might happen.
