Summary: It's time to choose classes for high school…


Kranz Station: Thursday, May 5, 2168 10:01 UT

The classroom was bustling with students excitedly scrolling through the course selection screen and coordinating with their friends about what classes to sign up for and raising their hands to get the counselor's attention to see what classes she'd recommend they sign up for. Milt stared at the graduation requirements and stared at the screen and he could not believe how many options he had. At least three history classes, and at least one had to be Earth-specific, and another had to be galactic-specific, and the third could be whatever he wanted. That was just one example of the many different choices he had!

He leaned over to Lila. "Hey, so what history class should we take? I was thinking about getting the Earth-stuff out of the way first…"

Lila shrugged. "Do whatever you want, Milt."

Milt frowned for a moment, and then let a small smile creep on his face. "What, are you saying you don't want to be any classes with me in high school?" He laughed. "Come on, I'm not that bad, am I?"

That's when he noticed that her computer screen did not have the course selection screen but instead her email inbox, with a game screen not-so-clandestinely hidden beneath it.

"Uh, Lila, are you already done?"

Lila shook her head. "Didn't even bother to look." He frowned, but before he could say anything she turned to him with a small smile. "See, the thing is, it's not that I don't want to be any classes with you in high school. If I had it my way, we totally would. But it'd be pretty difficult to when I'm going to be living on Lovell Station, don't you think?"
