Nathan Stockholme

"Here, kitty, kitty!" Nathan kneeled down in an alleyway, calling out to a cute white cat that meowed at him. He held out a fish-shaped cracker, wiggling it just a little bit. The cat sauntered up to it, sniffed it, then delicately took it from his outstretched hand. Nathan smiled, then stood up. Continuing on his way to school, he left the alleyway and walked along the street.

He was almost always late to school, simply because he walked about half a mile every day. It wasn't like the people at the foster home didn't want to drive him or anything; they were usually just too busy getting the younger kids to school that Nathan didn't want to bother them for a ride. That, and he usually got distracted by something on the way, like a cute cat or two. Nathan hummed to himself as he walked, going fast but not rushing himself. He was wearing what he usually wore; a button-up shirt, jeans, and rather fashionable boots.

Nathan finally reached the school, entering the front doors just as the bell rang. Knowing he didn't have time to stop at his locker, he went to go straight to his class.

Wait.....which class was mine again? Stopping in his tracks, Nathan fished around his pockets and his bag for his schedule. Where could it have gone? Oh no! i must have left it at home! Nathan's shoulders sagged as he realized, with shock, that he had no idea where his homeroom was. Wondering what to do, he wandered the halls, but soon stopped to look into the window on one of the classroom doors.

Peeking in, he could see Miu sleeping. How strange... He thought, I wonder if she's okay? Then, he saw Eros and shivered a little on the inside. He didn't really want to go in if he was there....but oh, Serena, Steve, and Sayuri were there too! Yay~ Completely distracted, Nathan pushed the door open just a little to get a better look. He saw the teacher, Mr. Walkins, looking like he was thinking about something. Nathan wanted to go over and greet him, but then he saw him.

Matvei, sitting and sketching. Without a second though, Nathan opened the door, running in.

"MATTY~!" He couldn't help but yell and he practically jumped on Matvei's back, hugging him from behind. "Whatcha drawing?" He asked, giving him a kiss on the cheek in greeting. The fact that he still had no idea if he was actually in his homeroom was completely forgotten.
