“Fine, you’re clear to exit,” she says, watching as the one that had jumped drops to the ground, looking stunned.

“Kaden?” the stranger says as the large teen comes out of the school entrance, dancing on the footprints with impatience.

“Kahale,” Kaden says as he comes to a stop. He stares at them for a while before letting out a sigh and asking, “Pehea ʻoe?”

“What ‘Pehea ʻoe?’?” Kahale demands. “Where have you been all this time?”

“Everyone thinks I’m dead, or something, right?” Kaden says.

“We did!” Kahale says.

“Can you, ah… keep it that way?”

“You COWARD!” Tua roars, rushing forward to punch him. Kaden grabs the fist he’s about to throw, stopping him in his tracks.

“Bruh,” Kaden says. “Why so mad?”
