Sweat trickled down Jesse’s brow as he reclined on the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRSdZRlS0L
bleachers behind him. As he watched his classmates make yet another lap around326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQmdULQJH
the track, his mind was consumed by one thought:
It was fucking hot.
Jesse had been forced to transfer326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7sjrjw06Y
schools. It was close to graduation, he hadn’t wanted to leave, but his mom had326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwzcJ8pSZy
insisted. She told him he needed a “fresh start”. That wasn’t what he needed,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE4vHkggYA
or wanted, but what did she care? Now here he was, sitting behind the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4mUTlzSy8
bleachers, avoiding the P.E. teacher, and this god-awful heat.
He turned to inspect the open field326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6khAmLX5i4
to his left, and instead of green, all he saw was blue. Pale, icy blue. Jesse326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oTPIHirkX
reeled slightly, taken aback by the sudden intrusion into his personal space.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPmAWsHLru
He hadn’t even heard the person approach, but here he was, sitting next to him,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmyFJu74ye
staring. Jesse takes in the boy. Everything about him seems mundane. His baggy326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKytCHh16y2
clothes, his short cut, blonde hair, even the shape of his face was just…326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcWCR0suKM
ordinary. The only striking feature on him were his eyes. Devoid of emotion,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTnBkREbee
they made Jesse feel like he was looking into a deep, clear lake. One you would326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqToFfN8wFh
drown in if you weren’t cautious enough.
Throughout Jesse’s pondering, the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqNudnTXj
boy had remained silent, and it was beginning to make Jesse uncomfortable. How326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ycyGakJN
could such an intense, empty gaze like that not? He didn’t want to be326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1qeZcfcE4
the one to break the silence. What would he even say? He dropped his gaze once326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd45KQcHu7
he realized there was no figuring out who this person was and waited for him to326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUQ0n7YEOd
say something. After averting his eyes from the penetrating pools of blue,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZf87uqNBS
Jesse shifted in his seat, folding into himself slightly, trying to make326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGYDZyB4mJ
himself invisible. Why was he just staring? The silence between the two326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkMKoIr4PL
lengthened. Jesse shuffled his body slightly and looked at the ground,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASX1iSLTXM
uncomfortable with the kid’s overwhelming presence. He could feel his gaze.
Flicking his eyes back towards the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuI17UW9Uf
boy momentarily, he catches the sight of the boy’s retreating back. His eyes326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Txa1Q5sGj
follow him as he gets smaller and smaller, noting that the boy was far taller326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPodX70ZldS
than he had appeared. Far, far taller than Jesse was surely. Before long, the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRtZ2FxoAH
boy was nothing more than a black speck in the distance, vanishing from sight.
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11F53Ow1VJ
Jesse let326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBmn2M9Ui
out a breath, on he hadn’t realized he was holding, and tried to not let the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5M8xGy3Df
events that had just transpired consume his thoughts.
As the final bell rang, a vast326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjqf2D0ttd
expanse of teens flooded the hallway. Jesse was jostled slightly as he fought326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OXwubiT1z
his way through the sea of bodies. The sooner he emptied his bag into his326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2fGdTGiSN
locker, the sooner he’d be back home, in front of his computer. Today had been326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHL3Wp1h9s
yet another dull day; pretending to listen to the teachers drone on and on;326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IbZri2BK
ignoring the petty cliques that had formed well before he had transferred to326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEG74PmV86
this lame ass school; barely stomaching shitty cafeteria food. The only326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeEIcUWgzq
memorable part of the day had been the mystery boy. Jesse couldn’t get his eyes326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0dgaNunO
out of his head.
Having only been in this school for326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsN37wPHXy
a month, Jesse sure as hell didn’t know all the kids that went here, but he326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU43kP6ilA
couldn’t help but think that he would remember someone so off putting. He326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAUnn1gwLT
shakes his head of the thought as he reaches his locker. Failing to put in his326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZiQD1sRCg
code correctly the first try, he curses under his breath and spins the dial326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ByL1YfxDD
around again. Finally succeeding in opening his locker, he begins stuffing his326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE8H4Wq9ad
textbooks onto the top shelf, feeling rather impatient.
Just as he is about to slam the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TNQ7sG3lX
locker door, he overhears a hushed conversation two lockers down from his, and326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeD3kbmE4z
slows himself, pretending to search for something.
“…parently he just got back. I326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliP6jNDrDE
don’t know what they were thinking letting that psycho back in.”
“Right?! Who knows what he’s326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wcOlQQ1G
capable of?”
“I thought for sure he’d be326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsLAi0IqzI
expelled this tim…”
The voices faded from ear shot as326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoEXu3CTGK
the owners drifted down the hall towards the exit.
Sighing and slamming his locker326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgNDBYajpZ
shut, Jesse followed behind at a distance. He had no clue what or who they had326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtjxZ1SMlq
been talking about, but his stomach was turning knots.
He made his way out the door and326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb324t9fX1L
trudged down the road. He walked to and from school every day. It wasn’t really326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqiUhoxdQK
that he had to, his mom would have happily come to pick him up if he had asked,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhkZcPdJ3m
but he liked the solitude and silence of the short walk.
The driveway was empty when Jesse326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrvKyYnBMz
arrived home, telling him that his mother had not yet returned, not that he326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVmkSWmiOm
expected her home anyway. She’d been coming home later since they moved.
Sighing, he slid his key into the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxI4uCrErn
lock, but before he was able to unlock the door, a bang from his left startled326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVFvhK9otI
him, making him flinch inward, his face scrunching up. Turning to look at where326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYpf9zZYPI
the sound had come from, his eyes grew wide. The tall boy was standing on the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHA9L3zm9d
porch next door, staring at him.
Again, Jesse noted just how cold326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqSIfptKhP
his stare was. Pale blue eyes, void of emotion, bore into his own olive-colored326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpck55YRsh
ones. Jesse stared back, uncertainty etched across his face.
Jesse cleared his throat,326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUtSUnvnfM
hesitating a moment before speaking.
“Hi, uhmm… I’m Jesse. I moved here326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKx6hB21zO
last week. I take it you’re our neighbor?”
Jesse’s question lingered in the326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9PA7s3Fck
air as the boy continued to stare at him. Becoming even more uncomfortable with326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6fCTOLEU9
the kid’s intense eyes fixed on him, Jesse moved to unlock the door.
“Adam.”
