As he sat back down, his smile grew. "Oh, Minnie, that's great!" Ethan enveloped Minerva in a hug as he wrapped his arms around her. He didn't doubt fora minute she would get that internship and he was really happy for her. The boy knew how much she had wanted it. Pulling back and still smiling widely, Ethan gave her nod. "I know you'll do great there.. It really sounds exciting." But he could see why she might be a bit nervous. Starting new things tended to make one feel that way, at least a little bit because of the unknown.
Sitting back slightly, he raised an eyebrow to her words. "An owl?" It wouldn't be very fair to keep her in suspense any longer.. not that he could, as the growing grin on his face most likely gave him away. "As a matter of fact, I got an owl today.." He pulled the folded letter out of his back pocket. "I got my internship too.. I guess you're stuck with me all summer," he added jokingly with a chuckle.

His first year at a real school (even though he's a fifth year) is officially over. Last summer, his father and aunt agreed that if he didn't like it, he can go back to being home-schooled. For the first few months, that option may have been possible. But now, Mick cannot wait for the following term. It's all good.
After a few minutes of looking around and not finding Laura at the front, he shrugged his shoulders and continued further down the middle of the train; not too many people but still kind of lively. Mick went by a comparment with two familiar faces and knocked on the window, waving to Ethan and Minnie. Tempting it was to sit with them; but as he adjusted one of the straps of his favorite old backpack, he saw someone sitting alone with a kitty.
Kitty! Kitty! Kitty! He has a unconditional love for kitties.
Mick turned to his friends and mouthed that he'll be next door; he felt like hanging out with someone new for a bit before he'll join them. And she's got a kitty. He turned to the other compatrment and knocked on the window before sliding the door open a little bit. "Excuse me? Mind if I take a seat?" he asked the girl.
Minerva felt Ethan's arms go around her and she hugged him back excitedly, yes this was going to be a fun new adventure and she couldn't wait. Plus the thought of the fun they were going to have with friends and hanging out with each other made her even more thrilled. Smiling as he pulled from the hug she blushed a little,
"Well thank you, I hope I can do as well as you think." She always felt good on the amount of confidence others had in her, now if she had the confidence in herself as well. This experience was hopefully going to help her with that as well.
Then she looked curiously as Ethan said about an owl and seeing his grin get bigger Minerva just knew he had great news and then he did. Hugging him this time Minerva couldn't hold in the excitement and bounced a bit.
"That's awesome Ethan. This is just going to be the best summer. I can't wait for all the plans and all the fun." She let him out of the hug and smiled.
"So you said you will stay with your Aunt then or was it grandfather?" She was trying to remember, either way he would be close and that's all that mattered to her.
She then heard a knock on the window and turned, oh it was Mick. Smiling she waved for him to come in. It might be fun to sit with him and Laura, but then she saw him look away and then mouth something about being next door. Hmmm maybe Laura was not wanting to sit with them or maybe he found another person. Minerva smiled and gave him an okay then turned back towards Ethan.
