Everett pushed into the art room and immediately Maddison was on his ass, not that Case expected anything otherwise really. He simply grinned, holding up his hands to say it was okay and everything would be revealed soon but there just hadn't been any time at all before the door was swung open and Jules appeared from the void.<br/>His eyes swung round and caught sight of the two of them though he focused on Case for a little longer and burned a glare through his frame.<br/><br/>Case simply quirked a brow, not showing the utterly devastating pain that look had ripped through his chest. Julien was away quickly and Everett slipped out the door behind.<br/>Taking in a breath and holding it, lifting his chin a little, Case couldn't help but feel a little bad for the jock. There really hadn't been a comfortable place for him to stand after that last situation. Stay with the boy you're dating and comfort him after the mini trauma of the over reaction of a friend, or try to seal the cracks of a breaking friendship before it fell apart. Either way he went there was going to be hurt somewhere, now Eve had to pick up the pieces with his lov-<br/>Nope, he didn't even want to think it.<br/><br/>Everett raced after Jules and Madds was quick to run too, Case instead lingered for a moment to let the glum look wash over his features as a rare slip of emotion other than anger showed.<br/>He scuffed his foot against the floor with a sigh before moving into a walk, keeping a slight distance for the split second it took for the young man to secure his mask back into place. Then he broke into a jog and caught up to Eve before he could fully finish his groveling sentence. He clutched a hand to Everett's forearm and tugged him back a little, letting Jules and Mads have some space. Mads was right, he'd have to apologise - even if he didn't want to.<br/>"He'll be okay." Case sighed, watching his feet as they walked. All the boys knew how Jules could be - a slight flare for the dramatic when things didn't go his way or quite to plan - but he'd calm eventually, like he always did.<br/><br/>"We just have to get back to your place, I'll explain everything and we can go from there." Case lifted his gaze to Eve, the corners of his lips curling in the slightest show of a comforting smile as his head bobbed in a short nod.<br/>Mads had no idea what was coming and Case still wasn't one hundred percent sure if the other boy would take to the thread of lies they would be signing themselves up for but if they were quite as alike as he thought them to be, he knew Mads would see the good in the mad idea he had and would reluctantly sign up too before he could realise the over shadowing bad festering around it.
