Maybe Aster Art by Lea Shvarts She blew the piece of grass in her fingers, the textured tip swaying unsightly in her fingers. “What do you think we will be after school?” He furrows his brows. “After high school or college?” They were only seniors in high school. They hadn’t even set foot into adulthood yet. “Both—I mean when we’re real adults.” “Are college students not real adults?” She throws the strand of grass away and turns away from him. “You know what I mean.” He does and thinks for a while. Her brown irises were back and peering over him with a curiosity he couldn’t figure out. It was unsettling but he found his words. “Maybe a manager in some company, probably an office worker. You?” She takes a breath. She must’ve been contemplating it before asking him. “A chemist or a geneticist but I want to have some free time for my hobbies. Nothing time consuming, that's all. More time for writing would be nice, but I am interested in the science field.” He doesn’t pry and listens to her science rant. He didn’t need to confuse her further.
