Sweat trickled down Jesse’s brow as he reclined on the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwPWkXa3OY
bleachers behind him. As he watched his classmates make yet another lap around324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp10IsIaIp
the track, his mind was consumed by one thought:
It was fucking hot.
Jesse had been forced to transfer324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshaiWcuSqz
schools. It was close to graduation, he hadn’t wanted to leave, but his mom had324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqUXD2xDq5
insisted. She told him he needed a “fresh start”. That wasn’t what he needed,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuOzjrzlHW
or wanted, but what did she care? Now here he was, sitting behind the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdQhHyPeKb
bleachers, avoiding the P.E. teacher, and this god-awful heat.
He turned to inspect the open field324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpkTfhNXh
to his left, and instead of green, all he saw was blue. Pale, icy blue. Jesse324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYlf85Nuqo
reeled slightly, taken aback by the sudden intrusion into his personal space.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs29MgWlI5
He hadn’t even heard the person approach, but here he was, sitting next to him,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eeoIJybVO
staring. Jesse takes in the boy. Everything about him seems mundane. His baggy324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrz15QDY1x
clothes, his short cut, blonde hair, even the shape of his face was just…324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqn3iDUkAa
ordinary. The only striking feature on him were his eyes. Devoid of emotion,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIkEGoj6gl
they made Jesse feel like he was looking into a deep, clear lake. One you would324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ioon81UF2
drown in if you weren’t cautious enough.
Throughout Jesse’s pondering, the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2A8RcKrkT
boy had remained silent, and it was beginning to make Jesse uncomfortable. How324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEPjbwUjY0
could such an intense, empty gaze like that not? He didn’t want to be324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasjZvU1eJ
the one to break the silence. What would he even say? He dropped his gaze once324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy7AePoUj8
he realized there was no figuring out who this person was and waited for him to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIWkBi0fyF
say something. After averting his eyes from the penetrating pools of blue,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6kxc4TyAo
Jesse shifted in his seat, folding into himself slightly, trying to make324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QUAAHZBzA
himself invisible. Why was he just staring? The silence between the two324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ZcK3ssWT
lengthened. Jesse shuffled his body slightly and looked at the ground,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlywi1MVRE
uncomfortable with the kid’s overwhelming presence. He could feel his gaze.
Flicking his eyes back towards the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ9otcwf5K
boy momentarily, he catches the sight of the boy’s retreating back. His eyes324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd80LRtnSR
follow him as he gets smaller and smaller, noting that the boy was far taller324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmKWbIEF9h
than he had appeared. Far, far taller than Jesse was surely. Before long, the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqECJviS2Pt
boy was nothing more than a black speck in the distance, vanishing from sight.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2LAEPdzr1
Jesse let324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6prPUxdjA
out a breath, on he hadn’t realized he was holding, and tried to not let the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9EXshJNTA
events that had just transpired consume his thoughts.
As the final bell rang, a vast324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKIxFDGbpZ
expanse of teens flooded the hallway. Jesse was jostled slightly as he fought324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX75rMlO3R
his way through the sea of bodies. The sooner he emptied his bag into his324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY3YHpQvT3
locker, the sooner he’d be back home, in front of his computer. Today had been324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfVt2sZbN
yet another dull day; pretending to listen to the teachers drone on and on;324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnR18oYNaC
ignoring the petty cliques that had formed well before he had transferred to324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUYVxOT26y
this lame ass school; barely stomaching shitty cafeteria food. The only324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LCLC93Vbu
memorable part of the day had been the mystery boy. Jesse couldn’t get his eyes324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusKXMWGGwN
out of his head.
Having only been in this school for324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYH172kW8R
a month, Jesse sure as hell didn’t know all the kids that went here, but he324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIcm1ZeESM
couldn’t help but think that he would remember someone so off putting. He324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWj7MDpGAB
shakes his head of the thought as he reaches his locker. Failing to put in his324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc1bTV30Jl
code correctly the first try, he curses under his breath and spins the dial324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s7eVERJdg
around again. Finally succeeding in opening his locker, he begins stuffing his324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jDmZfE98
textbooks onto the top shelf, feeling rather impatient.
Just as he is about to slam the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lNmEGClK1
locker door, he overhears a hushed conversation two lockers down from his, and324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOoWJYDnbz
slows himself, pretending to search for something.
“…parently he just got back. I324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW7N6C3CRP
don’t know what they were thinking letting that psycho back in.”
“Right?! Who knows what he’s324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfBRGCLPqw
capable of?”
“I thought for sure he’d be324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTULX1EQ53t
expelled this tim…”
The voices faded from ear shot as324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGXkuTRP6P
the owners drifted down the hall towards the exit.
Sighing and slamming his locker324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4INRc1BXGE
shut, Jesse followed behind at a distance. He had no clue what or who they had324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LJvAE9V3f
been talking about, but his stomach was turning knots.
He made his way out the door and324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL93i4vOI3x
trudged down the road. He walked to and from school every day. It wasn’t really324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Caslwg2VV
that he had to, his mom would have happily come to pick him up if he had asked,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sMkwl8Nnu
but he liked the solitude and silence of the short walk.
The driveway was empty when Jesse324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVYO11oUzG
arrived home, telling him that his mother had not yet returned, not that he324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11nHQSMAqS
expected her home anyway. She’d been coming home later since they moved.
Sighing, he slid his key into the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhl6XhrNo9
lock, but before he was able to unlock the door, a bang from his left startled324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5TbWtHpV7
him, making him flinch inward, his face scrunching up. Turning to look at where324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGMvKH5ydJ
the sound had come from, his eyes grew wide. The tall boy was standing on the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZvY7yyO2X
porch next door, staring at him.
Again, Jesse noted just how cold324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdsX75A5ig
his stare was. Pale blue eyes, void of emotion, bore into his own olive-colored324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOJz5KBWHr
ones. Jesse stared back, uncertainty etched across his face.
Jesse cleared his throat,324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSp24CptsB
hesitating a moment before speaking.
“Hi, uhmm… I’m Jesse. I moved here324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZZQGclWi
last week. I take it you’re our neighbor?”
Jesse’s question lingered in the324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T6xdwmDdQ
air as the boy continued to stare at him. Becoming even more uncomfortable with324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSAMG8ko3
the kid’s intense eyes fixed on him, Jesse moved to unlock the door.
“Adam.”
