Chapter 20 - As If Things Couldn't Get Worse...

Dante did not belong here.

He never belonged here.

He was stupid to think for a moment, for a small second of his life that he ever belonged here.

Where he really belonged was back home, with his over-bearing parents and one friend. Playing bankers with his baby sister forever and ever.

Sure, he hated that life. But this was WAY out of his comfort zone. I mean, he had friends. LOTS, like more than one this time. He liked these friends too. They saw him as different, heck they saw his house and still didn't hesitate to poke fun at him sometimes.

No big deal, they were just the kind of friends he's dreamed of his whole life. He could afford to say goodbye.
