CHAPTER 20

Tuesday and Wednesday were regular school days in the sense that I went to class, nobody threw up near me, and Leo and I didn’t spend any time in the book closet. His creative writing teacher was annoyingly holding him accountable for whatever it was he was working on, so I ate with my lunch friends listening to them talk about stage crew and trying to win me back.

“We miss you, Alex. The catwalk isn’t nearly as creepy without you,” Brandon told me.

“Yeah, and you already own enough black to blend in,” Eliza said.

“You’re really selling it, but I have an actual job and actual, you know, stuff I have to do with my evenings.”

“Watching Dead Hags 7 isn’t ‘actual stuff,’ ” Brandon air-quoted. “If only that were a real movie,” I mused.

I spent both nights working at Cellar and cramming in homework when I wasn’t filling bread with assorted meats and cheeses. I a sandwich and delivering it to a hungry person. Sometimes I felt like the patron saint of subs. There probably already was one, from what I’ve read about saints, which wasn’t much. Except that there’s one for practically everything. I could totally fill out a pair of black wings. Do saints have wings?

Near the end of my Wednesday shift, Doug called back to me in the kitchen. “Alex, you have a visitor! Clean the bathroom first.”

“I’ll get right on that, Sir Subs-a-lot.” Nobody tells the Patron

Saint of Subs what to do.

I wiped my hands on my grungy jeans and stepped out to find

Leo waiting for me behind the counter. “Hey,” he smiled.

“Hey,” I repeated, not matching him in enthusiasm. I didn’t want to get razzed by the college crew.

I stayed behind the ledge where we placed the subs ready for consumption. Leo leaned on the counter with his elbows, bringing his face closer to mine. The low lighting somehow emphasized the freckles that seemed inappropriate with the rest of his tougher exterior.

“Did you want something to eat?” I asked.

“Nah. Already ate. Thanks, though. Just stopped by to say hi.” “Picking up your comics?”

“Yeah. New Buffy and Walking Dead are out.”

“Buffy comics any good?” I asked. “I liked the show.”

“They’re really good. Most of the time. They had this totally weird plot where Angel and Buffy had sex in space. I didn’t quite get it.”

I nodded as though agreeing with something. I wasn’t sure how to respond to Buffy space sex. Little tune on the counter.

“Thanks, I guess,” I said. “See you tomorrow, maybe?” The question felt awkward, like what I was really saying was “Will you be sticking your hand down my pants tomorrow?” But curious minds wanted to know.

“I have to meet with my teacher every day this week for my independent study, so I won’t be able to, you know, hang out.” He had some unbuttoning on his mind, too.

“Okay.” I shrugged. No big deal. “What about Friday night?” he asked.

“What about it?” I couldn’t remember if we had talked about something, and I forgot again.
