Unhinged, Part-1
Kaya glances at Keith with concern as they arrive at the college building.
She nudges gently, pulling him out of his thoughts. When he finally looks at her, she asks softly,
Keith forces a small smile.
Kaya studies his face and sighs, deciding not to press him further.
Kaya
If you say so...you know you can tell me anything, right?
Keith
I know... don't worry about me.
Keith
You're getting late, by the way.
Kaya checks her phone for time and runs towards her class building, but then stops, glancing back at Keith with a smile, trying to lighten up his mood.
Kaya
Don't let dad ruin our whole day, Kai!
Kaya
Let's go eat after the class ends!
Kaya
Also bring those two morons with you!
Kaya
And don't overthink! Text me if you need me!
Keith
Ugh- just go away! You're late!
Kaya grins at him and with that she's off, hurrying inside the building.
Keith
She's so annoying sometimes...
Keith shakes his head and smiles slightly to himself, watching her go. he turns and heads towards his classroom.
As he enters the classroom, he spots his friends, 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 and 𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐲, already settled in. Oliver waves him over with a grin.
Oliver
Look who finally decided to show up!
Oliver
Thought you had bailed on us.
Keith rolls his eyes, settling into the seat next to them.
Keith
Trust me, I thought about it.
Henry notices Keith's red puffy eyes.
Oliver
Looks like he showed up after a good cry.
Keith
Just didn't get a good sleep, that's why...and I'm fine
Henry
Your eyes aren't agreeing to your excuse.
Oliver
Or maybe you are just aiming for a 𝘝𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤 look?
Oliver
Your red eyes totally give it away.
Oliver
That can't happen. Either you tell us what happened or watch me eat your ears. Decision is yours
Keith sighs making Oliver shrug.
He speaks in a small and vulnerable voice.
Keith just hums in response, his shoulders slumping as he leans over the desk, a gloomy expression settling on his face.
Oliver and Henry exchange a look, patting his back reassuringly.
Henry
It'll be okay, man. Just hang in there, you know?
Oliver
We should get your dad a hobby, like...... relaxing.
Oliver
Somewhere—far, far away.
Henry sighs, not minding his annoying friend's joke for the first time.
Henry
I guess I'll agree on this.
Keith
Seriously Henry...you too now?
Oliver grins, leaning in with a smirk on his face.
Oliver
We can tell him that he's promoted to 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦 𝘙𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘰 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵 and his only duty is to leave you alone.
Oliver
Or maybe we can sign him up for a 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱. Imagine him meditating in the mountains.
Henry
As if that will work.
Oliver
Who knows—he might come back all zen, like, "𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚, 𝙨𝙤𝙣"
Keith lets out a small laugh. Henry's lips twitch in a faint smile at Oliver's deadpan jokes.
Keith
That would be a sight.
Henry
I'm all up for your mom's reaction if this camp thing ever gets real.
Keith
She'll probably think he's possessed by some ghost.
Oliver grins, his voice takes an exaggerated, high-pitched tone as he mimics Mrs. Anderson.
Oliver
She'll be like—"Who are you? and what have you done to my loud, mean husband ??"
Oliver
And bam— Next thing you know, he'll be hosting a yoga class in the living room chanting namaste to your dog.
Keith can't help but laugh, shaking head at his friend's antics.
Henry
I can't picture your dad trying to meditate. He'll end up yelling at the sand for not being in the right spot.
Oliver smiles proudly at his own performance as Keith chuckles at the ridiculous mental image of his dad trying to meditate.
