Oil and Water (Cole, Clement)

[Event !]

Clement Evans is assigned to wash Cole akessler's car

[Clement Evans]

Normally Clement was not civic-minded enough to volunteer for something like a car wash (especially when he'd never washed a car before), but essay writing was a slow, arduous process and any break from it was welcome. Vermont's summer was cooler and less humid than California's and lacked the salt tang from being near the ocean, but from what he'd heard it was also unfairly short, and if he was going to enjoy the sun he thought he better be outside as often as he could.

In a plain t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, Clement was free of visible bandages but did have a rather noticeable patch of shiny, pink, healing skin in the middle of his face. Under his shirt was a single patch of gauze, and he still moved with care for his healing ribs. Due to his lack of height, he had a step-stool, which he sat on, watching the other kids. Mia was there, and glimpsed Mr. Dietrich. His eyes got as wide as everyone else's when the horse showed up, but thankfully he got a customer before he could dwell too much on what sitting on the thing would be like.
