The rest of the week went by smoothly. The homework load was light and there weren’t any more confrontations between Layton and Zev. I was still mad at Nick for what happened on Friday, so lunch with Layton was out of the question. If I didn’t take off with Zev to the diner, I would end up in the library. Layton joined me in the library the two days I spent there during lunch. During PE, which was the only class I had with both Layton and Zev, I made a routine of going to the end of the gym. When Layton and Zev arrived to class, they would each take a seat on either of my sides. Layton didn’t seem happy about the sitting arrangements, but he hardly made any comments with Zev there. Zev invited me to hang out Friday after school. We were going to a lake a few miles away from his house. H
