    Summary

    Every screen in the room blazed with the same breaking news feed. An alien voice had just asked for him by name on live television.

    “Mr. Grace?” little Jamal whispered from the front row, eyes huge behind his glasses. “Is that really you they’re talking about? Like, you you?”

    Ryland’s mouth opened, but nothing came out. His heart slammed against his ribs like it wanted to escape and hide under the desk with the class hamster. He was just Mr. Grace. The guy who drew cartoon planets on the board, who stayed late helping kids glue together messy dioramas of the solar system, who once spent an entire lunch period comforting a sobbing girl because her goldfish had “gone to the great fishbowl in the sky.” He graded spelling tests on vocabulary words like photosynthesis and asteroid. Aliens did not know his name. Aliens did not ask for science teachers.

    The marker slipped from his fingers and clattered to the floor.

    Summary

    Rocky has called Grace stupid hundreds of times, but now that they're no longer in crisis mode, Rocky's beginning to suspect that stupid isn't the right word.

    Or: words have connotations, and Grace needs to be a teacher outside of his usual subject.

    Summary

    Maybe it is scared too. Great. Two aliens scared of each other floating here with a wall between them.

    Rocky's POV of the first meeting, kind of channeling a scaredy cat engineering classmate I knew in college. Also because I saw a Tumblr post that was like "Rocky is a tatted up engineer, every other word was an expletive" and I thought that was funny.

    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –
