plate of food.
    “Sure?” Israel answered, waiting to see what his mother was up to.
    “Israel, I been thinking... since this nice weather we’ve been having isn’t going to last for much longer, I wanted to have a barbecue. You know, me, you, your sisters, your father, and you could maybe invite your new friend if you’d like.”
    Israel looked at his mother and she grinned at him.
    “I think that’s a great idea,” Olivia spoke up. She had a look on her face that made Israel smile as he shook his head.
    Nehemiah walked in and stood over by the counter. His expression hadn’t changed.
    “Okay… I will ask her if it gets you guys to stop this.” Israel rubbed the back of his neck, a little tense because his father was staring.
    “Great!” his mother said with enthusiasm.
    Israel grabbed an apple, his keys and walked out the door.
    “Well, that was easy,” Abby spoke, looking around at all the food she had made.
    Olivia laughed, continued to pick at the fruit and returned to her reading.
    “What does he mean by I will ask her?” Nehemiah asked, but already knowing the answer.
    Abby held back a nervous smile and just looked at him.
    Israel got into his car and pulled out of his driveway to go and pick up Aira. As he drove, he looked ahead and to the right a bit. His vision went into slow motion, and he stopped the car dead in its tracks. He got out of his car, and walked into the forest. After clearing some bushes and branches out of his way, he saw a beautiful, massive, white wolf caught in a trap. The wolf was in pain and defensive, but just laid there. Israel looked and said gently, “I will help you.” He slowly approached the wolf, then he blew into the wolf’s face, and the wolf fell asleep. Israel took his time and pulled off the trap. Holding onto the wolf’s leg, he took his hand, and he placed it onto the wound. He then moved his hand away, and the wound was completely healed. Israel stood up, backed up a bit, and said out loud, “Wake up! Get up! ” and the wolf opened its eyes. The wolf stood up, looked at Israel for a moment, then turned and ran into the forest.
    Israel walked back out of the bush, got into his car, and continued to Aira’s.
    As he pulled up, Aira was sitting on her porch and he couldn’t help but smile. She wanted to avoid her mother making a fuss and embarrassing her, so she had decided to wait outside.
    She got up, and Israel got out of his car.
    “You look beautiful.”
    “Thanks,” Aira smiled blushingly.
    “There’s just one thing,” he gently moved some hair away from her face and he smiled.
    Aira didn’t say anything, she just smiled back at him.
    “After you,” he spoke.
    Israel watched her open the handle of his car. “Don’t worry,” he smiled, he could sense that she was worried. His smile calmed her, his eyes seemed so innocent, it made her breath easy.
    They got into the car and he pulled away from the sidewalk. Slowly their hands made their way to each other.
    When Israel pulled into the school parking lot, all eyes were on them.
    Jaidas stood with his friends waiting. He had noticed Aira’s truck was still at school and he had tried to get information from Avery. But she wouldn’t say anything.
    Avery and Joshua were standing by Joshua’s car watching. The air was full of tension.
    Israel got out, then Aira. Jaidas walked over to them and looked at Aira.
    “What’s this?” He spoke, trying to control his anger.
    “What’s what?” Aira replied. She honestly didn’t care what he thought any more.
    Jaidas felt Aira had a protectiveness over Israel. It made it worse. But Jaidas smiled, rubbing the side of his arm he walked closer to Israel.
    “You don’t belong here,” Jaidas said at him, and with a fiercely fast reflex, grabbed onto Israel’s arm.
    The moment that Jaidas grabbed onto Israel, he got a shock that travelled all the way up his arm and into his chest.
    Jaidas let go, held onto his chest and looked at him.
    “I belong
