Summary
Charles is… nice. He’s never been unkind to Erik, he always smiles at Erik whenever he looks his way, he doesn’t mock Erik’s accent like everyone else does (Charles, too, has an accent, but nobody seems to be mocking him for it. Not that Erik wishes for it. He doesn’t like the idea of Charles being mocked– for his accent or anything else. Then again, Erik likes Charles’ accent, so he can’t complain, he supposes). Charles even shared his spare pencil once when Erik’s had been broken. Erik can easily imagine Charles as his friend- eating lunch during recess and solving division problems together in class. Erik could show Charles his Hot Wheels collection and build tracks around his room. Or he could ask his father to build them a tree-house and go diving in the lake.
Yes, Erik decides he would like that very much.
Erik wants to walk over to Charles and talk to him, but Charles is surrounded by their classmates, where he’s explaining something with his hands. Erik wants to listen, too. He wants to know what Charles is saying; but that would mean mingling with the rest of his classmates, and that simply cannot happen.
