-Chapter 8-
The Principal stood up and welcomed Bridge inside the room "I'm happy that you came here so quickly mister. But I'm sorry I had to disturb you…" Bridge shook his head politely "it's not a problem. So what's the problem with Conner?" he said looking at the boy near him.
The woman sighed "his behavior is out of the world: he is a rebel, he doesn't recognize authority and he doesn't take part of any activity!" Bridge looked at the boy: he knew he was different from the others, but something like this "I'm so disappointed Conner" the boy looked down guilty as the old woman spoke again "well, since you probably going to take care of the boys, can you sign this? It just said that all of them are your responsibility now" at that, Bridge paled: if Sky would ever find out about this, he was dead.
After saying goodbye to the boy and the woman, Bridge went outside the school and literally ripped the tie from his neck sighing "hey wait!" he heard someone calling and turned around: he saw a small girl, probably 7 or 8, running toward him "please do you have some money?" he smiled at her and shook his head "trust me. I don't have a cent. Do you believe me?" the girl looked at him from head to toe: dressed like that, he sure was lying "no" Bridge looked offended at her, then remembered he was wearing Sky's suit "but I know you! You were the one that came this morning with those boys! Why are you dressed up like that?" the little girl near him said smiling. The boy, fearing that he would be undiscovered, rushed away leaving her wondering if he was insane.
Back at home, Z and Cam were outside in the garden when they spotted Bridge looking around "Bridge?" Z said but was stopped when she saw him pointing behind her: when she turned around, she saw Sky walking toward them while poor Bridge ran into the house. Later that day, when the others came back from school, Sid came up with a plan: she had to do everything she could to fool Sky. She looked around and, sure that the man was looking at her, approached Conner "Conner, darling, why don't you and me go and have some fun at the zoo today?" the boy looked at her smiling and jumped at her neck hugging her. Sky looked at them smiling as the boy dragged his girlfriend out of the house.
When they were out, Bridge approached the man slowly as he saw Cassandra glaring at him. He didn't like the woman at all "can I ask why she hasn't brought Ty with her?" Sky turned around and looked questioning at Bridge "because she can't do it on her own with the two of them" Bridge nodded slowly and started walking away slowly. Sky went back to his newspaper, just to be stopped once again by Bridge "can I say something about it?" the man sighed irritated "no" "I think that it's really horrible that she makes such differences between the two of them, Ty need also al the love that he can get. Think about it: I know it because I'm an only child. Now excuse me" he finally said leaving Sky looking shocked at the spot Bridge was standing on. After a moment, he turned toward Cassandra "why in the world did he ask if he could say something?" the woman shook her head and went back to painting her nails.
Not letting it go, Bridge went into Ty's room: if Sid didn't want to spend her time with the boy, he was determinate to do it. inside, he saw the blond child doing his homework "don't you get tired always doing those things? I mean, it's good that you do them, but you also need to have some fun don't you think?" the boy looked at him smiling softly "thanks for the concern, but I'm used to this don't worry…" Bridge stood up from the bad and set on the desk near the boy "sure I worry! You know what? Tomorrow after school you tell all your friends that I'm going to bring you to the cinema or somewhere else" the boy sighed and looked at him sadly "that's going to be hard… since I don't have anyone to ask it"
The revelation left Bridge shocked "well… I got it! me and you from tomorrow are going to spend at least an hour a day to do everything you want, I don' t care what it is, as long as you're happy" Ty looked once again at the boy, but this time he had a big smile on his face. Bridge nodded at him but, suddenly, he spotted Sky with the corner of his eye looking at them from the door. When the man felt that he's been spotted, he hid outside the room.
As he contemplated running away or hiding in his office, Bridge appeared near him smiling at him, making the man blush "I'm sorry… I wasn't spying" the boy nodded as he looked at the man: there was something in him that he found attractive, but he didn't know how he could go from an angel to a total jerk "Bridge listen, I really need to tell you something" Sky said leaning into the boy slowly. Bridge started panicking "what?" they looked at each other for a while, not saying a single word. After a moment, Sky closed his eyes and sighed "I need my office ready early tomorrow morning" he said slowly and walked away. The boy looked at the man walking away and shook his head: he was sure that that wasn't what he wanted to say…
That evening, when Bridge decided to visit Kat, he found himself face to face once again with the small girl he encountered that morning "hey little one…" he said softly to the child as he set near her "since we met so many time… I'm Bridge! And you?" he said standing his hand. The girl looked at him worried but gave in the end "Summer!" They both spent hours talking and Bridge learned a lot about her: her mother went into another country for work and she was left behind with her granddad, who recently died leaving her alone. Before someone could found her, however, she decided to run away. From that moment, she lived on the streets. When they were about to say goodbye to each other, Bridge had the most dangerous idea that he could have ever had in his life.
He brought her to the Tate's mansion
He sneaked her into his room and set down a few rules: basically, she couldn't do anything if she didn't want to face Sky. He left her to fetch something to eat, when she realize that she had to use the bathroom. So she tip toed out of the room and went into the first one she found: it was indeed a gorgeous room, and for sure not the bathroom. Meanwhile Bridge, after seeing that the girl wasn't into his room, went into panic mode and started to run around the house to look for her.
His huge luck made him collide into Sky just outside his room "I'm sorry… I can't sleep so I went for a walk" he said awkwardly avoid eye contact with the man. Sky, still embarrassed about earlier, found hard it hard too looking at the boy "ok so… good night Bridge" the boy nodded before leaning in and kissing the man on his cheek "can I suggest loosing the stubble? It makes you look old" realizing what he had just said, the boy walked away quickly hiding his embarrassment.
Sky smiled at him softly as he entered his bedroom. The boy was sure something he didn't ever saw… it wasn't sure what it was, but he liked it. When he entered the room, he noticed that something wasn't right: he started looking around the room. He then realized that the problem of his nervousness was probably under the bed, so he slowly went to look for whatever it was…
