"Hi my names Dustin and well I've been watching you since you came in" he said

"Why" Cody questioned.

"Well because when you came in you looked so sad and hurt. It was bugging me how someone so beautiful could look so sad. I wanted to comfort you somehow even though I don't know you. I felt some kind of...of well connection." He said. Cody examined the boy carefully. He was shorter than himself maybe around 4'9". He had dirty blond hair that came to his eyes, his eyes reminded Cody of an oasis he had seen on the internet. They were a bright brilliant blue that Cody almost could get lost in. Cody smiled

"Thank you but you don't need to be conceded about me. You don't even know me" he said as he pushed past Dustin. Dustin reached out and grabbed his hand. Cody looked back and saw the look in Dustin's eyes as he looked at the boy he thought "he's really cute"

"Fine" said Cody "let's go get a drink." He grabbed Dustin's hand and headed off to the food court. Dustin insisted that he buy the drinks once they got them they sat down to talk.

"So" said Dustin "why are you so sad"

"It's a long story Dustin. How about this I will answer you if you answer a few of my questions first."

"Okay" the boy said with a smile

"How old are you"

"12" he replied without hesitation.

"Why were you staring at me."

"I think... I might have fallen for you. Love at first sight you could say" he replied. Cody looked surprised. This boy didn't hesitant, he was direct and honest and as Cody looked at him amazingly cute.

"Well then I guess I'll answer your question. The reason I'm sad is because someone I care about a lot hurt me very badly and because of that I can't go home."

"I see" Dustin replied. He seemed to stop and think for a moment.

"If you don't want to go home because that person is there. How about coming home with me. You can stay over if you want. I'll try to cheer you up and you don't have to see that person" Dustin said. Cody was surprised by this boy. He seemed to be speaking honestly from the heart and for some reason it got to Cody.

"I'll have to check with my mom and usually it's not something I'd do but for some reason I trust you" he said. "I'll be back I'm going to go use the phone."

"Wait here use mine" Dustin said handing Cody his cell phone. Cody was surprised that a twelves year old had a cell phone. He was fourteen and he didn't even have one. He dialed his home phone hoping Zack wouldn't pick up.

Carey

Carey heard the phone ring and picked it up.

"Hello" she said

"Hey mom it's me" Cody said through the speaker.

"Hey Cody. Where are you. I was surprised when you didn't come home with Zack. Where are you."

"I'm at the mall with a friend. He wants me to stay over his house tonight. He needs help studying and I said I would if you gave me the ok."

"Which friend is it"

"His names Dustin mom"

"It's a school night but since you'll be studying I guess it's okay."

"Oh and mom please don't tell Zack where I am. We had a bit of a fight."

"Okay bye Hun" Carey said hanging up the phone. Zack ran out of his room.

"Mom was that Cody. Where is he can I talk to him. Is he okay"

"He's fine he's staying at a friends house tonight"

Cody

Cody turned to Dustin

"She said it was okay for me to stay over" he told the boy.

"Great. Let's go" Dustin replied grabbing Cody's handed out. When they got outside Dustin hailed a cab. The two boys got in the cab, Dustin told him where to go and they headed off. As soon as they got to Dustin's place Cody was amazed. The apartment building they pulled up to was one of the most expensive ones in Boston. The two boys entered the building and the doorman greeted them like he knew Dustin very well. They entered the Elevator and even more to Cody's amazement Dustin hit a button to one of the top floors. Once the doors opened a lavish apartment opened up before them. Cody's jaw dropped.

"My dad works a lot over seas. He bought this apartment so is have somewhere to stay and still go to school although he doesn't actually care if I do. You can do whatever you want here it's only the two of us" Dustin said as he led Cody into the apartment.

Hey guys another chapters up and Dustin is turning out great. Cody meets a cute rich boy. What could be better lol. I kind of like him as a character his look and personality that will evolve. I almost can't wait for my own future chapters. So until then guys leave your comments and reviews. My pm box is always open as well. I'd also like to answer a question I received from dark serpent. He asked if I ever considered a cross over and the answer is yes however I thought Dustin would be more of an interesting character because I can shape him how I want. Plus common he's cute. So until next time guys thanks for reading.
