Several days later, Reed and Jackson are sitting on the stairs of the quad, just talking about nothing as they wait for April.
"Where's your book?" Reed mimics.
"It's at home." Jackson responds, as they are still laughing at Teddy's negligence for music class.
"She gets on my nerves, thinking that she's always right." Reed says. "Someone should tell her that nothing it concrete."
"For real." Jackson says. "Oh! I found something!"
"You did?"
"Yeah."
Jackson pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to her.
"You still have yours too?!" She exclaims happily.
"Yup. I was looking for the gift my dad told me that he places in the drawer I hardly ever go in, and I found the note that you first have me when you learned how to type in Braille.
Reed chuckles.
"Do you remember what you put?" He asks her.
"Of course!" She tells him. "I wrote 'Reed and Jackson, friends for life' on this piece of paper." She finishes. "I have mine at home too."
He smiles.
"Hey guys!" April greets her two friends. "Ready to go?"
"Yeah." Reed says.
"I can't." Jackson saw apologetically. "I'm supposed to go to my grandma's house."
"Oh yeah." Reed says. "It's Wednesday."
She turns to April.
"Usually on Wednesday's I guide Jackson to his grandma's house and-"
"You can walk with April today." Jackson tells his best friend.
"Are you sure?" April asks him.
"I'm sure." He reassures her.
"Okay." Reed says. "I'll see you later." She says kissing his cheek.
"Bye, Jackman." April says running her hand though his short hair.
Both young women walk away, leaving Jackson alone on the stairs.
His phone rings.
He answers.
"Hi, grandma." He greets. "Yes, I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm sure. I'll see you in a bit. Bye."
He hangs up.
He stands up, pulls his white cane from his backpack and starts walking through the campus.
As he's making his way through the campus, Alex, Amelia and Lexi spot him, and quickly huddle around him as he is walking. They are all making obscure gestures as he is walking, and Jackson stops.
'What the heck is going on here?' Jackson wonders to himself sensing something around him.
After a moment, he continues to walk, still feeling uneasy about his surroundings, gripping onto his cane tightly.
As Jackson is walking, the others that've been surrounding him quietly chuckle, and Alex trips him, causing Jackson to fall on his face.
Maggie and Arizona, who've just witnessed everything at this moment, rush towards Jackson and help him up.
"You bastards!" Maggie snaps at them.
"Are you okay?" Arizona asks him.
"I'm fine." He says as Maggie hands him his cane.
"Are you hurt?" Maggie asks.
"Are you okay?" Arizona asks him. "Do you need to go to the nurse's of-"
"I'm fine." He repeats as he walks away from his peers.
"You guys are some real assholes, you know that?" Maggie tells them.
"Let's go." Arizona says angrily, grabbing her friend's hand and walking away from them.
They others simply stand there and laugh.
