Chapter Three

April 2017

As Adrien walked to his class. He saw his step brother Dylan standing outside of the class. "Where were you Adrien? We were looking for you?" Dylan said. "I was with a friend." He says surprising Dylan. "You have friends? When do I get to meet them?" Dylan says in a very f-boy like way. "In three days." He said walking into class.

"Well you're no fun." Dylan pouted. "I made it." Carmen said looking like she had ran a mile. "Hi Adrian... Dylan." She greeted the both of them. Dylan looked at her confused as to why she did that but would consider that later as class was to begin.

"Alright class today is progress report day when I call your name just come up and get it." The teacher said. As students were getting their report Dylan felt annoyed. "Carmen where's Thompson?" He asked her as she was sitting behind him. "Ask your brother and Danté." She said simply making Dylan put two and two together.

"What do you mean by that?" He said as the teacher started the lesson. As class went on Dylan saw that his stepbrother was texting someone and smiling like a goof ball. Is he friends with Thompson of all people? Dylan thought to himself. "Why?" He thought she was trying to get back at him after all the years of leaving their friendship behind.

Flash back

"I like you a lot Dylan."  Lilly told him. "Well I don't. No one will ever like you. Weirdo."he said loud enough to get everyone's attention. She looked at him hurt by what he did and honestly it killed him but he did it because he didn't want her to know his secret. "Dylan you don't mean that." She tried to touch him. "Don't you get it Lilly? I will never have feelings for you. So leave me alone. We aren't friends anymore."

End

Dylan cringed at the memory but he knew he did it with great reason. The class bell rang taking him out of his thoughts.  "Alright don't forget to read section 3 and answer the questions." Everyone had left the class. "Adrian ready to go?" He looked next to him to see that Adrian was already gone. He puffed annoyed at him. "Fine then." He got up and left with his bag and went to his locker only to find Thompson and his stepbrother talking about Goddess knows what.
