IT DIDNT surprise Adam that Craige laughed. It didnt even surprise

him when Jamie joined in. But Brian? Adam hated to admit it, but everyone was right. His mother, Batu, Ean. He did not belong here with people like this. Adam turned and cut across the blacktop and out of the park. He knew Ean would head through the woods and take the footpath. But he wouldnt go home. Oh no, not looking like he did. Batu would have a fit if he saw Ean bloodied up.

Then the big Male would want to hunt down and kill whoever had done it.

Adam stepped through the gate and passed under the heavyleafed oak trees. Beneath the foliage, Brian closed in.

“Wait a minute.”

Adam didnt want to wait. He yanked away from Brian and kept going.

“Adam….”

“Piss off, Brian.”

“I cant believe youre mad.”

Adam turned around. Brian couldnt believe he was mad? What the hell?

Brians eyes went wide. “Jesus, youre seriously pissed.”

“Wow, youre just now picking up on that?”

“No, I mean….” Brian ran a hand through his short, spiky hair. “Ive never seen you pissed. Youre seriously… pissed.” Adam didnt know what was worse, the fact that Brian was surprised or the fact that he had the nerve to make it a question.

“What the hell do you expect me to be, Brian? Huh? Craige smashed Ean in the face with a basketball. All because he beat him at a stupid game of one-on-one. Worse than that, you laughed.” Adam turned to walk away. It was either walk or start hitting something.

It didnt take very long for Brian to catch up again.

“Why do you care?”

Why. Did. He. Care.

Adam stopped. Again.

He was at the edge of the green space now, where the trees were thick and the shadows thicker. This far away from the courts, Craige and Jamie could no longer see them. Better yet, they couldnt hear them.

Adam pegged Brian with a glare. “Eans my friend, Brian. My very best friend.” They were close in ways Brian and his friends could never understand, ways Adam was only just starting to appreciate. Looking back on the past six months and where hed been spending most of his time, Adam couldnt help but be in awe that Ean still wanted to hang around him.

Still wanted to keep him.

“Adam….” Brians hand closed around his wrist. “You dont need Ean. Youre better than him. You can do better than him.”

For whatever reason, that made Adam ask, “Why did you tell them?” Brians eyebrows came together. “About the rocks and flowers he leaves on my window. Why did you tell them?”

“I dont know.” Brian shrugged. “Its weird, thats all.”

“You knew they would rag me about it.”

“I didnt mean—”

“You meant something, or else you wouldnt have told them.” Adam turned away and headed toward the green space. Halfway up the hill, Brian was at his heels.

Brian said, “Im sorry.”

“For what?”

“For telling them?”

“And for what else?”

It was Brians turn to stop. Adam went a couple more steps before he stopped too. God, why? Why did he have to like Brian so much? It didnt seem possible.
