Adam Raki was always the new kid in school, his family was poor but he would always follow his father back and forth to the docks to watch him fix boats. He would just sit there on the rafts looking at his father look back at him to make sure he was there and grins at him. He learned to fix boats with his father and made some pocket change, which always went to his father because he had no need for it.
Years went past, and his father grown ill and more ill. Adam's mother had passed away and his brothers left the house for the city. He stayed with his father, caring for him till the 12th of December he had passed away. Adam stood watching his father being lowered into the ground as his godmother Beverly Katz stood besides him. A couple months past by and he found him self on the docks once again. He fixed the boats like his father did and stared at the ocean as people passed by.
It was Monday when he meets Nigel. He was at a party that his god mother had invited him to, to celebrate her new found marriage with Saul. Adam sat alone in the backyard looking at the sky as the party went on in the house. "Hey, may I f-cking sit here?" Adam looked up to Nigel, Beverly's coworker that she mentioned. Adam nodded and shyly looked away from him. Nigel grinned and sat next to Adam, his left arm swooping from behind and place around Adam's shoulder.
"It ain't f-cking bad, cheer up kid" Nigel said nudging him. Adam blushed and nodded. Silence was there but Nigel grabbed Adam closer to himself. "You wanna hang out kid? I mean, eat somewhere nice like a restaurant." Adam gave a small smile, "Mac and Cheese?" Nigel gave a loud laugh. "Sure, if that what you want."
