Too Much to Ask

RoadHog's PoV

I didn't want to leave the other but I could tell I have over stayed my welcome and maybe even crossed a very dangerous line.  I walked home that day and even as I tried to sleep I had two imagined in repeat in my head. A sleeping Jamison and his bombs.

They next day I rushed to school, hoping I could again see Jamison as he got off the bus. I couldn't remember which bus or if that one had a normal schedule. I sat outside waiting. Looking at my phone every minute, still while knowing I had never given him my number. When I saw the first bus arrive I was executed, only to be crushed when that wasn't his.

Same with the next bus.

And the next.

Bus number 25 was one of the last to arrive. I had all but given up home when I heard the sound of wood on metal and looked up to see Jamison, his leg back in working order. I waved, but without a sign of recognition I was sure he didn't see me. I took a breath. Maybe I should just leave him alone. This wasn't any of my business after all. I turned to walk inside but was frozen in place when he called out, "Wait up!" It didn't take long for Jamison to catch up to me but if I had walked inside he probably would have lost me.

"So, you fixed your leg" for as much as I had been wanting to see him I wasn't sure what to say.

"Sure did, didn't even that that long to be honest. Say, mind if I stick with you today? I'm Ah... well I may have made some enemies on the way in" I looked back to see that even as he said this he was still smiling. I shrugged, not too sure what the other wanted for me. He was the one getting inti fights yesterday.

"Great. Anyway I was hoping our classes were closer today then yesterday." We walked three the hallway and he was actually able to keep a pretty good pace with me. "I just mean you and that other girl are the only ones who've really been nice to me. And you're really the closest thing I've had to a friend in a long while" I could hear the sadness in his voice, but it was covered quickly with a laugh. "Not many people can handle this much awesome. I'm glad you can, after all you've got just about as much as me"

Was that a complement? I turned ti him and was about to ask before he was already onto something else. "Hey, I don't think you have or will tell but could you keep what you found at my place a secret?" There was a pause in his words. I tried to have my brain catch up.

"I could, but you'd owe me"

"Oh what? What's I got that you don't already got?"

"I don't know yet. I'll think of it" I couldn't help but smile slightly at the other, who gave me a smile back.

"How about a picture? I can make a better one... I mean a picture of you. And by better I'm not saying I've drawn you before. I've just been trying again to draw people and wanted to draw you. I mean..."

I couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the way he spoke. He seemed to be trying to cover up a slip with a lie, or a few. "I was thinking more like some information"

"Information? I don't know anything I swear!" He froze up his hands in the air. "I don't see any of that."

"Come with me" I grabbed his hand and pulled him off to the library. We were going to be late for first bell but I was not waiting any longer. This new kid had something going on with him, I had too many questions and needed answers.
