@childbe gets a starter <3
Elementary kids weren’t supposed to hang out with middle school kids. The middle school kids were cool, older. They didn’t want to be caught dead with kids who weren’t even in sixth grade yet. But Nathan was in fifth grade. He was ten now. Double digits. He would be in middle school next year. Besides, the middle school had a better soccer field.
Which was how he found himself with his soccer ball in hand approaching an older boy. They were holding something in their hands and Nathan leaned sideways to peek around their back.
“... is that a moth?”
