Chapter 53

Several school buses were parked outside Salmade Primary School. Following the class arrangement, Valeria and Selena were already seated on the bus. At 8:10 am, the teacher took attendance and gave out some reminders. It was 8:15 am when Sebastian finally showed up with Leo. They were the last to arrive. The bus had a few empty seats since some kids were absent. Sebastian headed straight for the seats behind Valeria and sat down with Leo. "Ms. Neal," Leo greeted Valeria, unable to hold back. "Selena, I brought something for you guys. And I brought a lot of fun stuff, too. Do you want to play together?" Selena looked at Valeria. "Mommy, can I sit with Leo?" Valeria pressed her lips together. Seeing the excitement in Selena's eyes, she stood up. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Sebastian, who very cooperatively shifted his long legs to let Leo out. She also caught a glimpse of his face at that moment. Valeria didn't take Leo's empty seat. The bus wasn't full anyway.
