"Hey, Hal."
Vance walked up to his chubby friend. They were out by the school gates lounging around with nothing to really do because shop class was closed for the day.
Hal nodded his head in Vance's direction.
"How's it goin'?"
Vance grinned, dying to tell his friend a juicy rumor Christy Martin had been telling around the school.
"You know that Kowalski kid? The one always around Hopkins?"
Hal thought for a moment, trying to remember the kid. It was vague, but it was there..
"The one that use to hang out with that snake, Smith?" Vance nodded. "What about him? He finally come out of the closet?"
Vance's grin only grew.
"Somethin' like that. I hear he's got a crush on you."
Hal blinked, slightly disgusted.
"Are you joking?! No thanks! He's to slim for me! You can have him."
Vance sighed. "Already tried. Smith threw a fit about him being his slave and wouldn't shut up until I left."
Vance rolled his eyes. Some people were just too possessive.
