"Thanks." He wheels over to her. "Wanna sit with me?"
Caleb points to a young girl and boy in the corner, having a conversation in sign language. "That's Avis and Perrin."

"Oh awesome!" Carson grins walking over to them and signing, "Hi. My name is Carson. Nice to meet you."
"Love to." Sophie smiles as she takes a seat beside Ezra.

Avis's jaw drops, looking from Carson to Caleb and back to Carson. "You know sign language?"
Ezra grins. "What grade are you?"

"That's so awesome." Avis turns to Caleb. "Your friend is awesome."
"I'm a junior too!" Ezra grins.

Ezra shrugs. "I'm surprised I haven't seen you around either," he replies.
"No one ever knows sign language," Avis continues to gush.
Caleb leans over to Carson and whispers, "I think Avis more than approves."

"I know." Carson signs, "It's silly really. More people should." Carson looks up at Caleb and grins.
"Course I just moved her a couple months ago so maybe I've just been too busy trying to catch up with schoolwork and stuff to pay attention to people. I don't have any friends yet."

"Agreed!" Avis signs back. "I think schools should teach it more."
"If we're not careful," Caleb says with a laugh, "she's gonna be an activist like me."
"Imagine being me and brand new," Ezra replies.

'Nothing wrong with that." Carson smiles
Sophie looks at him and then puts her hands on her hips, "I don't know why that would be any different. Nothing's wrong with you. Surely you have tons of friends by now."

"Not gonna hear me argue that," Caleb replies.
"People don't know how to interact with me all the time. I have a few friends but not many," Ezra replies, unable to tear his eyes from her, especially now that she said that.

"Well, anyone who would judge you based on your mode of transportation is just plain ignorant."

"Thank you!" Ezra says. "If only you could tell everyone else that."
Caleb bumps shoulders with Carson. "You fit in perfectly here, Carse."

Caleb takes Carson's hand and leads him to a spot at the table. "You look like you feel a lot more comfortable now," he comments.
"You wanna come hang out with me and my friends at school?" Ezra asks her.

"I do." Carson smiles as he sits down.
"I'd love to." Sophie smiles, her bright blue eyes twinkling.

"Good," Caleb says, squeezing Carson's hand under the table. "I hated seeing you so uncomfortable."
Ezra grins widely. "Awesome."

"More of a movie person, really," he replies. "And I'll watch just about everythinh. Though action and horror are more my thing."
"So, Carson," Brian says, "Caleb tells us he ran into you at school. What are you studying?"

"Sign Language actually." Carson smiles, "I want to be an interpreter like my mom."
"Ehhh not my thing." Sophie laughs

"Well, that's quite the noble goal," Brian says.
Corinne adds, "You two are quite the pair, aren't you? Moving for social change."
"Well, what is your thing?" Ezra asks.

"Yea, I guess we are." Carson smiles
"Hmm… movie wise, I'd say romantic comedies or realistic dramas. I love Army Wives though I'd never want to be one." Sophie laughs

"I think it's a perfect match," Caleb says, smiling at Carson.
Ezra chuckles. "Good news for you, then, that I can't enter the army."

Sophie grins. She likes this guy. He's sweet and has a great sense of humor. She runs a hand through her curly blonde hair.
Carson smiles back.

Ezra glances at her as Corinne and Brian start passing the food around. "Mind helping me with the portions?" he asks her, suddenly a little sheepish.
"I don't know if it's still your favorite, but I asked Corinne to make chicken and mashed potatoes like we used to have all the time as kids," Caleb says to Carson.

"It's still my favorite." Carson says with a big grin on his face.
"Sure!" Sophie grins as she takes the bowl and spoons some potatoes out on Ezra's plate before passing it on to Avis.

"Can't go wrong with a classic, right?" Caleb replies, a grin matching Carson's on his own face.
"Thank you," Ezra says.

The minute their eyes meet, Ezra knows for sure that he has fallen fast and hard for this girl. "You're pretty special."
"So, Carson, do you do much cooking?" Corinne asks.

"Well, I didn't used to but it's just me and Soph now so we're trying to learn together." Carson smiles and winks at his sister.
Sophie blushes and looks down only to peek up again and smile as he sees he is watching her too.
