Lunch

"Hey guys, so my dad said that it was fine if you came over, so how bout we meet at my house after school, and we can work on the project." Flack said coming up to where Mac, Stella, and Danny were sitting.

"Good, when, if, you see the others pass it on." Mac replied

"Oh and my dad said that once we have a plan he would be happy to set us up with tours, and interviews."

"Thats sweet man," Danny grinned

"What is?" Sheldon asked as he and Lindsay walked up to join them.

"Flacks dad said we could come over after school, and that he could get us interviews."

"Really that's awesome" Sheldon said looking at Flack

"Has anyone told Adam or Raine?" Lindsay asked

"There's Raine now." Sheldon said

"Raine" Danny called gesturing her over

"Hey guys, what's up?" She asked walking towards their table

"Flack's dad said we could go over to his house after school and work on the project."

"Awesome, I'll text Mac later and get the directions."

"Sweet."

"I'll catch you later then"

"Yeah later" Danny said as both he and Flack watched her leave

"Better close your mouths, I think your starting to drool" Lindsay told them angrily giving Danny a death glare before getting up and almost, *Almost* stomping away.

"Awe Montana" Danny whined following after her.

"Those two should just hook up already" Flack complained standing up he adds, "Well I'm outta here, some kids from my social class and I are going to toss a football around,"

"Have fun" Sheldon told him

"Thanks, you guys wanna come?"

Sheldon gave him a look, "I make plays, I however never play."

"Suit yourself, Mac?"

"No thanks

"Stells?"

"Thanks, but no thanks."

"Alright but you guys are missing out, anyways see you after school." he said leaving.

"Yeah later" Sheldon called after him

Stella looked around frowning "Has anyone seen Adam?"

"I think he goes home" Mac told her

"Why do you think that?"

"Well when I first met him, it was at lunch, and he was leaving."

"That doesn't mean anything."

"He's left everyday since as well."

"Fair enough"

"Well we can just catch him before next class, or after school."

"Alright" Stella agreed, "So how was your last class"

Mac gave her a look as she knew that he had a spare before lunch.

"Don't give me that look Mac," look continued... "Fine how was your spare?"

"Fine, your class?" He asked with a slight grin

"Fascinating." Stella told him resisting the urge to stick out her tongue, "Sheldon?"

"Boring,"

"Why?"

"I had gym."

"Ah" She said as if that explained everything, which it did, as Sheldon hated gym.

"Yeah, anyways, bells going to ring soon, I'm going to go grab my books" he said getting up to leave.

"Alright later" Stella called

"Later" he called back

"Mac, I'm wo-

"So are the rest of us, I'm not sure why, but there is just something about Adam that makes me want to protect him,"

"Yeah I know the feeling."

"It's affected the others too, and we're all worried about him. The problem isn't going to get the other's help to watch him, it's going to be getting him to trust us enough to help him."

"I don't understand why he doesn't, why he's so nervous, timid."

"I have my suspicions that he might have been bullied."

"But?"

Mac shook his head, "I just don't know that's why I asked Flack to ask his dad to look into it."

"But why do you think bullying?"

"I suspect bullying, bad bullying, because he thought we wanted something, he didn't understand that we just wanted to help him. I also suspect that, and this is only speculation, but since he moved up a grade, he probably hasn't had many friends before. I also suspect this because he seems like he doesn't know how to act when we are nice to him,"

"He was fine around me in bio, a little nervous, but thats it."

"He was fine with one person being nice to him, but when all of us are he seems very confused."

"Thats terrible!"

"Yes, but as I said, it's only speculation."

"Yeah, but I still feel bad for him."

"Me too, but we can't change the past, all we can do is be there for him now, be his friends."
