Fiona jumped up and hugged her brother. "Declan! I missed you!"
He squeezed her. "I missed you too sis. I was so worried about you. Mom told me about…everything."
Fiona looked down at her feet. She never talked to Declan about her little drinking problem and honestly, she didn't want him to know. He already thought she was crazy and sent her off for the summer. She knew everything he did for her was out of love and he really just wanted what was best for her but she was always worried he really thought she was crazy.
"Yeah," she said still looking at her feet. "With the trial and everything it was just so…hard."
Declan nodded and pulled his sister in for another hug.
"Fi, the security." Adam said timidly.
Fiona pulled away quickly. "Oh right, no physical contact. Against school rules."
Declan sighed. "Oh yes. Mom told me about those, bummer huh?"
Fiona nodded and smiled. She was so happy Declan was back. She didn't realize how much she really missed him until he was right there.
The bell rang. Adam got up to leave. "Hey, Fiona I'll call you later?"
Fiona smiled. "Yeah, that'd be great."
Adam gave her a huge smile and walked away. Fiona stared at him as he left. Declan cleared his throat.
"What?" Fiona said innocently, giving Declan her full attention.
Declan crossed his arms. "Who was that?"
"My friend Adam. Adam Torres." Fiona looked at the nearest clock. "Oh, look at the time. Better be off to class. I'll see you at home! Good to have you back! Love you!" She said rushing out of the caf.
~~o0o~~
"Tell me everything you know about Adam Torres." Declan said fiercely.
Holly J turned around in her chair pulling her eyes away from the computer screen she was looking at. "Declan, you're back." She said calmly, but surprised.
He nodded sharply. "I know we're not on exactly friendly terms but I need to know everything you know about him."
Holly J smiled. "So I'm taking it that you met him? That's good. I was so worried Fiona wasn't going to introduce him to you."
Declan crossed his arm and furrowed his brows. "Yes. Now, what do you know about him?"
Holly J turned her attention back to the computer screen she was working on. "He was new first semester. He's in grade 10. He has a brother in grade 11. His best friends are Eli, who's also new but in grade 11 and Clare Edwards."
Declan interrupted. "Prop master Clare?"
Holly J looked at him annoyed. "Yes, that Clare. Are you done questioning now? I'm trying to get stuff done for college admissions because unlike you, I can't just buy my way in."
Declan glared at her for a second. "How does he know my sister? I mean, he's in grade 10."
Holly J shrugged. "Fi started hanging out with him, Eli, and Clare." Holly J looked at him and realized he had a look of concern on his face. She softened her expression. "He's not going to hurt Fiona. He's a nice kid. I mean, there's the bullying but…"
"He's a bully! Great. That's it. I can't watch my sister get hit again. She's done being his friend." Declan said, furiously.
Holy J laughed a little and shook her head. "No, he's the one being bullied. I mean, I'm not surprised but it's sad because he does seem so nice. He's so lucky Fiona's so accepting."
"Accepting of what?" Declan asked, confused.
Holly J's eyes widened. "Oh…I thought…I thought you knew…"
"Knew what?" Declan asked, his anger rising.
Holly J shook her head. "You should talk to Fiona." With that, she got up and left.
