Because we wasted so much time outside before class, I didn't get a chance to tell Kaylee about Jeremy's offer until after class. She looked exhausted and annoyed with her arm bulky from a cast. She had it in a sling to keep it elevated, but I don't know how much help that was since it looked to be irritating her opposite shoulder where the strap went.

I shared Jeremy's offer with her as soon as the bell rang for class to end. She stopped struggling with zipping up her backpack to look at me. "Are you serious?"

"Here. I've got it." Noah took her backpack and fixed the papers sticking out before zipping it up. He continued to hold the backpack. "I'll help you carry it to your next class."

Kaylee twisted her lips like she wanted to object. But then sighed like she let out all her pent up frustration. "Okay. Thanks."
