Crazy

Gary had already received this type of reaction before from others, but at least he understood why the others were doing that, but now he felt like it made no sense. The only reason he could think of for them to act like this was because of the words that had just come out of his mouth.

“What's wrong?” Gary eventually asked, a little puzzled by the situation. “Is it really that surprising to hear that I’m being sponsored by my gang? I thought it would be fine to mention that in a place like this. I mean, it’s not like I’m the only one, nor are the Howlers active in any of your towns.”

None of the three really answered his question, so the green haired teenager looked towards Izzy who had been the most talkative up until now. This awkward silence continued for a few moments, but Gary’s gaze alone continued to put pressure on the teenage girl until she eventually said something.
