You had just finished middle school, and now you’re going into high school with your brother, Abbie. You were getting ready for school while Abbie stood in the doorway. He had a nervous expression on his face. You didn’t seem to acknowledge it. You finished getting ready and Abbie walked you to the bus stop with him. He kept glancing at you on the way. After a few seconds he finally spoke up.

“Are you sure you want to come to school today..? I can always ask mom if you can stay home..”

Abbie stares at you, waiting for a reply.
