Chapter 32 Challenging Full Moon

At dinner Marcus decided to check up on Joshua, especially with what had happened at school. He worried about his friend a lot.

He hadn't forgotten about the letter that he had received from his father either, Joshua never did open up about it.

"Hey bro, you okay?" He asked his best friend, who was picking at his food rather than eating it.

"What?...Yeah I'm fine." Joshua answered quickly.

"Sure?" Marcus asked further, he noticed that his friend seemed distant from the scene.

"I said I'm fine!" The blonde boy sort of snapped.

"Okay." Was all he could say in response.

Though he knew very well that those words often were said when the person asked was the furthest thing from fine. He also knew his best friend well enough to know that those words meant nothing, and didn't even touch upon how he really was. It was best not to push it though, he decided. The boy had already had a rough day and Marcus didn't want to make things worse.
