I get up with my finished lunch tray. Giving Kai a glance, I go and dump it in the trash. I walk outside the cafeteria and to my next class. I hope Kai understood what I was signaling. I wait eagerly for him to arrive. After a few minutes, he slips inside the classroom looking behind him in the hallway. “Hey. Happy Thanksgiving.” I smile and sign. “Happy Thanksgiving.” “So, what was is it that you wanted to give me?” He leans against the table. I nod and pull a plastic container out of my purse. I place it in his hands. “Open it.” He playfully narrows his eyes at me and takes the lid off. On catching the sight of the contents he smiles at me. “This is amazing.” He tastes the pumpkin pie and groans contently. “This is delicious.” I sigh in relief as I was sceptical about bringing it.
