(Aly POV) Art class, but not with the pre-k kids this week, the elementary art teacher said she saw "potential" in me, and that my art looked really good. So here I am, sitting at a table with two kid's from Ollie's school, older than me smarter than me, but they were about as good at art as me, it was awkward at first, being in a classroom full of kids who were all several years older than me. "3:30," I whispered, that's when Koko is supposed to come get me, after his eye appointment, then we're gonna go to the library and after that we get Ollie. 3:25, it was packing up time, everybody was talking about what they'd worked on, I was working on cover art for Ollie's stories, as a birthday gift, hoping to hear him speak, the last time Charlie said he heard my older brother's voice was when I was a baby, when he played with me. I saw Kody, he was standing near the door for when I came out,"Library time!" he said excitedly. We both ran across the street to the library, I got some picture books for me and some graphic novels for Ollie while Koko got coding books, coloring books, and an audio book, along with a disk for some TV show for himself, a big Percy Jackson book for Charlie, and a few different fantasy novelas for Ollie. It was about 3:50 by then, so we needed to go back to pick up Ollie so that we could go get snacks, on our way over I asked, "Why don't you have your robot?" Koko looked at me, "I didn't have coding lessons today," his response was calm. Once we got to the school he walked in, I chose to follow him. We went back to the writers' lounge, the place where writing clinics happened.
