It was Saturday, so the school trip was less than one week away, and Kofi understood that preparation was necessary. He walked to the door of Thea's room, and his steps were quiet on the floor, so he knocked. After a moment, the door opened only a small amount, and Thea was looking out.
"Hey, today we need to go shopping for the trip."
She did not give an answer, and her eyes were looking at a spot on the floor. 'Go out? With other people?'
"Nina and some others are going to meet us at the mall, so we can get you a bag and also some boots."
She looked up at him. "…Okay."
"I will give you a few minutes to get ready."
He walked away from her door. 'This is going to be a long day.' He went into the kitchen, and he drank a glass of water while he waited for her.
