Dyllan liked Max, sure sometimes he was the butt of his jokes but at least they were usually funny ones. Sometimes he's been mad to the point of tears of frustration at Max but couldn't help undermining himself by laughing right along with everyone else. Still as much as he liked Max's company, the room was starting to get a bit crowded. He wasn't sure that this would be such a good hiding place from... Brad! Damn.<br/><br/>To make matters worse the jock already seemed furious about something when he came into the room. Dylan flinched as Brad called him a fairy. He hated the rumour at school that he was gay, mostly because he thought it was true. He'd never told anyone, but the way he flinched and mumbled and became tongue tied had maybe not confirmed it, but had become too much fun for people not to use the hated insult.<br/><br/>He thought about running but it was too late. Brad closed with him and lifted him off the ground. He looked ready to start pounding on him without even getting in a few more insults first. Dyllan started hyperventilating in terror, speaking nervously as he tried to talk his way free.<br/><br/>"No Brad, please don't. I'm sorry. What did I do?"<br/><br/>As he dangled there waiting for Brad to hit him, he could only think ' wait there's something wrong with the syntax there'.
