Going outside in a town infested by pests, insecty or alieny, was a terrible idea. And Anthony has usually been full of terrible ideas. Hood over his head, hands in his pockets, careful that he's ready to run at the first sight of a monster, Anthony walks down the street, eye out for anybody in trouble or the face of a friend.

He catches sight of the former first. And at first he just... stares. He knew the monsters were ridiculous. They weren't really dangerous, only highly irritating, but even he wasn't expecting--

"... Hey," he says unsurely, staring at Jovan stuck wherever he may be stuck, "you okay?"

-- gum monsters plastering people to places.

As soon as he feels the backpack in his hand, he grasps it. Before making any movement, though, he just nods to Anthony behind him, still catching his breath.

And then his leg muscles finally kick in, carrying him to the one empty seat across the room in the front row. He tries his hardest to make himself small and slide into the seat with as little commotion as possible, but it's kind of impossible.

At least he's there now, though, and the girl at the front of the room clears her throat before trying to start up her presentation again. Jovan gives one last glance to the front of the room where he nods a little, trying to give the kid a silent thanks.

A thumbs up, a salute to the teacher and a bow to the poor girl before Anthony slips out of the classroom, closing the door as quietly as he can before he backs up into the wall on the other side of the hallway and slides down, exhausted from an eventful morning. He wasn't planning to save a random stranger from gum and run to school with him, but he supposes that counts as exercise. Jesus, that was weird. But worth it, maybe. Maybe?

He'll still be sitting outside when the class ends and Jovan comes out, if he manages to.
