Just a Teenager-Chapter 21
Lancer POV
"Hello, Danny."
He looks up at my, anticipating something.
"Sit down."
He obliges.
He sits, stiffly. His muscles are tight, he's not the least bit relaxed.
It's obvious he's not going to speak until I do.
"I want to help you."
His head jerks up. His mouth is dropped open in shock.
Did he think I was going to do something to him?
"I want to know how to help you."
"Uh, no offense, Mr. Lancer, but there's not a lot you can do."
"Please. If there's anything. Tell me."
"Well, uh, you could excuse me form class when I need to go fight a ghost."
Yes, finally, something I can do to help him.
"Done."
"Thank you. If I flash my eyes green, that means I need to leave."
"Got it."
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. I will give extended time to complete your assignments as well."
He smiles so brightly that it reaches his eyes.
"Go on, now." I tell him.
He walks out of my room, happier than I've seen him in a long time.
