Sweat trickled down Jesse’s brow as he reclined on the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8BJCchaSp
bleachers behind him. As he watched his classmates make yet another lap around231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54OAnMWDs0
the track, his mind was consumed by one thought:
It was fucking hot.
Jesse had been forced to transfer231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyVRMEqFc8
schools. It was close to graduation, he hadn’t wanted to leave, but his mom had231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8JOwLkOlT
insisted. She told him he needed a “fresh start”. That wasn’t what he needed,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuiqCYRgBd
or wanted, but what did she care? Now here he was, sitting behind the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLLeedebvA
bleachers, avoiding the P.E. teacher, and this god-awful heat.
He turned to inspect the open field231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit06XZCnEd
to his left, and instead of green, all he saw was blue. Pale, icy blue. Jesse231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5UxNDafJf
reeled slightly, taken aback by the sudden intrusion into his personal space.231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRoTZkqnBt
He hadn’t even heard the person approach, but here he was, sitting next to him,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQmf316MxG
staring. Jesse takes in the boy. Everything about him seems mundane. His baggy231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tnv1HYJiO
clothes, his short cut, blonde hair, even the shape of his face was just…231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j3ATxclgN
ordinary. The only striking feature on him were his eyes. Devoid of emotion,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWJWnngR9H
they made Jesse feel like he was looking into a deep, clear lake. One you would231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV6ME8pCEA
drown in if you weren’t cautious enough.
Throughout Jesse’s pondering, the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1RF5HTOIO
boy had remained silent, and it was beginning to make Jesse uncomfortable. How231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyTg5ybqWr
could such an intense, empty gaze like that not? He didn’t want to be231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RDGitrjYi
the one to break the silence. What would he even say? He dropped his gaze once231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet2FLdkiDk
he realized there was no figuring out who this person was and waited for him to231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsou6O2B9Er
say something. After averting his eyes from the penetrating pools of blue,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kdEepAwC2
Jesse shifted in his seat, folding into himself slightly, trying to make231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQvfNa2hGC
himself invisible. Why was he just staring? The silence between the two231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwuPUyWq6C
lengthened. Jesse shuffled his body slightly and looked at the ground,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr1yZsgTfk
uncomfortable with the kid’s overwhelming presence. He could feel his gaze.
Flicking his eyes back towards the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzHgiBBS3e
boy momentarily, he catches the sight of the boy’s retreating back. His eyes231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NEPZH1v1o
follow him as he gets smaller and smaller, noting that the boy was far taller231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWuoXyFHDm
than he had appeared. Far, far taller than Jesse was surely. Before long, the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj5j6YiYuN
boy was nothing more than a black speck in the distance, vanishing from sight.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjapg3hKx3
Jesse let231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNGKzCx4Q8
out a breath, on he hadn’t realized he was holding, and tried to not let the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xy1MGS5HE
events that had just transpired consume his thoughts.
As the final bell rang, a vast231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfsfFWbKQQ
expanse of teens flooded the hallway. Jesse was jostled slightly as he fought231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKcDBNEUnM
his way through the sea of bodies. The sooner he emptied his bag into his231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnTuXqtJ1j
locker, the sooner he’d be back home, in front of his computer. Today had been231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBBcpTGWS
yet another dull day; pretending to listen to the teachers drone on and on;231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxKaZggNX
ignoring the petty cliques that had formed well before he had transferred to231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj1I5AEvMZ
this lame ass school; barely stomaching shitty cafeteria food. The only231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8naqUWfWJ
memorable part of the day had been the mystery boy. Jesse couldn’t get his eyes231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vf036Oaxj
out of his head.
Having only been in this school for231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1suoXwVA
a month, Jesse sure as hell didn’t know all the kids that went here, but he231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4RuBsk5Pb
couldn’t help but think that he would remember someone so off putting. He231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL0YWtRNlc
shakes his head of the thought as he reaches his locker. Failing to put in his231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS3aZPmiih
code correctly the first try, he curses under his breath and spins the dial231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCjyQHG5gR
around again. Finally succeeding in opening his locker, he begins stuffing his231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFfNvFe7IJ
textbooks onto the top shelf, feeling rather impatient.
Just as he is about to slam the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iXX1cibT1
locker door, he overhears a hushed conversation two lockers down from his, and231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYgmsbFVJ2
slows himself, pretending to search for something.
“…parently he just got back. I231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZhNIiD2Ys
don’t know what they were thinking letting that psycho back in.”
“Right?! Who knows what he’s231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocjyAu0MlC
capable of?”
“I thought for sure he’d be231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO6xau39dD
expelled this tim…”
The voices faded from ear shot as231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjojm9bovUx
the owners drifted down the hall towards the exit.
Sighing and slamming his locker231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEQOnowWaF
shut, Jesse followed behind at a distance. He had no clue what or who they had231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlpjrq8jfF
been talking about, but his stomach was turning knots.
He made his way out the door and231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq19lJCRQpr
trudged down the road. He walked to and from school every day. It wasn’t really231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELA9H3bEIT
that he had to, his mom would have happily come to pick him up if he had asked,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5brjNiIjv
but he liked the solitude and silence of the short walk.
The driveway was empty when Jesse231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnulKbqH4i
arrived home, telling him that his mother had not yet returned, not that he231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocPQpZ8Rgt
expected her home anyway. She’d been coming home later since they moved.
Sighing, he slid his key into the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BVbmQ31p7
lock, but before he was able to unlock the door, a bang from his left startled231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZoQpYk347
him, making him flinch inward, his face scrunching up. Turning to look at where231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4b1yx3xlw
the sound had come from, his eyes grew wide. The tall boy was standing on the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDxYIXb7YC
porch next door, staring at him.
Again, Jesse noted just how cold231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IrKkSV2mK
his stare was. Pale blue eyes, void of emotion, bore into his own olive-colored231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbIKDWb8Gn
ones. Jesse stared back, uncertainty etched across his face.
Jesse cleared his throat,231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwFnPJ1ufx
hesitating a moment before speaking.
“Hi, uhmm… I’m Jesse. I moved here231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFDkdQqpg8
last week. I take it you’re our neighbor?”
Jesse’s question lingered in the231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPzaLVeRQK
air as the boy continued to stare at him. Becoming even more uncomfortable with231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVIJEd9cNg
the kid’s intense eyes fixed on him, Jesse moved to unlock the door.
“Adam.”
