Room 205- Monday morning before classes

[overparented]

For the last two weeks, Janet had had daily phone calls from her parents. They wanted to make sure she was doing okay, and honestly she missed them, even if she knew she probably sounded a little annoyed when she talked to them.

"Yes, I went to church... Umma, I'm not going to have them write a note that I was there. I can send you a selfie next week... I'm pretty sure if Jesus was around today, he'd take the occasional selfie in front of a church... I am too funny."

Walking as she talked, she just so happened to see something through the window, flying somewhere off in the distance. It looked too big to be a bird, so she moved closer and peered out, frowning as it swooped back around, and... yep. Not a bird. Super not a bird.

"Umma I've gotta go. Homework emergency."

She hung up without thinking, and debated just not going to class today. And then she thought, maybe she could get some good pictures.

"Okay, but that can't be true, because that would mean I called an African prince a furry."

Oh god.

"King, actually," Shuri said, "but it's totally fine. He's just my big brother. He's not special."

"I mean, he's a king," Janet said, and sighed, and facepalmed.

Shuri giggled. "Really, it's fine. It's funny."

"I mean, it's not like I'll ever meet him, right?"

You're staying till fall now, Janet.

"Probably not," Shuri agreed. "He's very busy."

"So why'd you end up here, then?" Janet wondered.

"I've never been anywhere," Shuri said, "and so when T'Challa opened up Wakanda to the world, I asked to go out and see some of it."

"A tiny town is definitely some of it," Janet agreed.

"With giant lizards, so that's different," Shuri said. "We only have regular sized lizards."
