Chapter 34

“I wriggled and shifted in my seat so much because of it, Renny soon awakened. ‘Sorry, man,’ he said, obviously embarrassed by the unplanned intimacy. He scooted over, Liam, and rested his head against the window to continue his nap. Oh, how I missed him. I can still feel how much. It wasn’t long afterwards, just about the same time I realized the true reason for my arousal wasn’t just the bumpy road under the tires, that Renny turned mean on me. I certainly never expressed out loud how my feelings had suddenly become confusing. Someone else had teased Renny about being so close to Freaky Frank, maybe. That’s what probably happened. I bet anything that’s what made Renny change. It’s the only explanation I can come up with. The only one he could, when he and I talked about that bus ride last October…right before he kissed me.”
