The first bedroom they come upon is Kyla’s. It is empty except for a queen-size bed, night stand, a matching dresser, and a 40 inch flat screen. Kyla looks around her room and her bathroom, for a moment, marveling at the fact that her new room is at least twice the size of her room in Baltimore.

Then, the trio head next door to Ashley’s room. Which she has arranged exactly like the other house, except it’s bigger and she now has a TV as big as Kyla’s mounted on the wall. Ashley and Kyla are sitting on the bed Spencer is facing them in his wheelchair.

“Whoa, who’s that? He’s hot!” Kyla says as she sees a picture of Aiden on top of her sister’s dresser.

“Oh…him? That’s my friend Aiden.” Ashley answers.

“You guys must be pretty close if you have a picture of him right next to one of you two…Right?” Kyla asks.

“Yeah the three of us are friends. Aiden’s my best friend besides Spencer. We use to do everything together, but now I spend most of my time with Spencer. It works for all of us because Aiden’s become friends with Spencer’s brother Glen. They’re on the basketball team together.” Ashley answers.

“I see…so, Spencer you have a brother? What’s that like? Until now I thought I was an only child. Kyla says with a smile at Ashley.

“I have two actually. Glen’s the oldest and then Clay. My brothers are cool…I’m pretty sure every set of sibling’s experiences are different, some really good, some really bad, and everything in between. We fight and we laugh, but love is always there.”

“Aww.” The girls respond sweetly in unison.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah…moving on.” Spencer says feigning like he’s uncomfortable showing his soft side even though he’s really not.

“Okay…So Spencer, you said Ashley helped you get use to this madness when you first came here, where did you move from and why, if you don’t mind me asking?” Kyla wonders while hoping Spencer doesn’t think she’s being nosey.

“I don’t mind. Me and my family moved here from Ohio before the beginning of the school year. We moved for a couple reasons. My dad’s a social worker and has always wanted to help people in need. There’s pretty much no better, more diverse place to help people than here…”
