Elise followed behind Max as he made his way to the stairs and down them. He almost fell, and Elise was sure he was going to die before any of his peers could get to him. She stood outside the biology room for a moment, staring into it and thinking. She had basically been told to be his protector for the day. Sighing she walked into the room and sat in the empty seat next to his.<br/><br/>"Tell me. Did you learn or understand anything in English class? Do you really think the most productive thing you can do is sit here in Biology and stare at the teacher? You couldn't even go down the stairs without slipping. This is the one day where skipping in order to explore the school grounds would be acceptable."  She presented these fact logically before him. "The choice is yours. You can stay here and learn about plant cells, like you will every other day of this class, or you can follow me and maybe become a little more settled here. Maybe after you relax you can learn to sleep. Perhaps it's worth a shot." With that, she stood up and walked towards the door without looking back. She walked out into the hall and out of sight from inside the classroom before she turned and waited to see what he would decide.
