"There are fifteen minutes left in class. I'm sure you can come up with something your grandfather would be proud of." Says Miss Opal

"He enjoys fishing," Logan remarks

Alright. My dad also does. Miss Opals remarks, pleased that he has a plan of action.

After grabbing the necessary colors, Logan adds himself to the painting of his grandfather fishing from a boat.

"Is your grandfather truly wearing an eyepatch?" Ollie remarks as he considers the outcome.

"No, until I was four years old, I thought he was a real pirate because he told me he was a real one to keep the magic of it alive and because he worked at a restaurant with a nautical theme where the staff had to dress like that." Logan laughs at the recollection.

That is so funny. This one seems like a lot more fun than the one in Florida. Ollie remarks

"Thank you, and me too." Logan mentions letting the painting dry on a rack.

Carlos is enrolled in Language Arts, which is his next class he needs to attend. He tells his pal what happened in the art room, pleased to be with him again.

"What Harvey did was terrible. The child is more evil than Cujo. Carlos remarks

"That, amigo, I wouldn't be so sure about. Cujo was a murderer after all. Harvey's destruction of my painting was merely an example of his immaturity. Says Logan

"Regrettably, Cujo was an insane dog. He was unable to restrain himself. Harvey has the option, but he chooses to bully instead. Says Carlos

Indeed, it gives one a sick sense of pleasure. Never mind about him, what are your birthday wishes? He is not nearly as essential as that. With an intention to shift the topic, Logan says.

This afternoon, I will inform you. Kendall and James also need to be aware of this. Says Carlos

They wait for Ms. Knight to come in the carpool lane after school. Carlos can't wait to tell his friends some fresh information.

at the home of Knight. They head to Kendall's room upstairs.

"What urgent matter do you feel the need to share with us?" Says Kendall

Everything I really want for my birthday. My goal is to make an extraordinary new friend. Says Carlos

"You mean like a student on exchange from abroad?" James answers incoherently.

"No, it's really beyond this world," Says Carlos

"You refer to an alien? similar to the film E.T.? Uncertain of his genuine meaning, Kendall says

With a serious expression, Carlos replies, "Yes."

"Oh my god, that's a big request, man. Quite aspirational," Logan remarks, attempting to provide encouragement.

"Well, Logie, that will be a desire fulfilled. I am going to look for a shooting star in the sky on Thursday night at midnight, and I hope to meet a real alien so it can be my friend." Carlos says, "I'm sure my wish will come true,"

They silently stare at him, unsure of what to say or do. Since Kendall is the group's unofficial leader and is supposed to be the most rational member, he is unable to come up with a sensible reply.
