Chapter 5
“My car’s outside.” Rene doesn’t even bother to introduce himself. He just starts walking, and Evan is left with few options but to follow if he doesn’t want to be left behind. He hurries after Rene, who has longer legs than Evan and can walk much faster.
Evan has had more than enough encounters with bullies in his life, and he’s not in high school anymore, even if Rene wants to act like it. Evan isn’t going to put up with it. He’s been picked on for being gay, for being half Native American, for being pretty, and for being a geek. He’s never been disliked just for being human before, and Evan is sure that’s what’s going on here now.
