Tainted Love

Monte chuckled, smiling. "Okay goofy."

"I'm not goofy..." Lennon pouted. "He's creepy looking."

"Lennon," said Monte. "How could you say that after what happened to him?"

"What? I meant the character Goofy is creepy..." Lennon said.

"Still," said Monte. "If Bradley hears you, he could take it the wrong way," he said. "I don't wanna upset him right now."

"Oh right, sorry." Lennon said quietly.

"He was pretty worried about how bad he looked earlier," said Monte.

Lennon nodded, understanding. "He doesn't look hurt on his face though, besides his lip...that I saw anyway."

Monte nodded. "I didn't see anything else either."

"It hasn't been that long though," Lennon said, lowering his voice. "What if bruises show up later on...?"

"Then I'll deal with that if it happens," said Monte softly.

Lennon nodded. "He wouldn't take it very well though, will he?"

Monte shook his head. "Bradley's appearance means a lot to him, for some reason."

"Well he gets picked on too yeah?" Lennon asked. "What else would he really have, in his opinion...besides you?"

Monte nodded. "I guess you're right."

"Aren't I normally?" Lennon smirked.

Monte rolled his eyes. "You sound like Dad."

"Do not, I sound like me." Lennon said.

Monte rolled his eyes. "You shoulda been Adam Jr."

"Eww, no." Lennon frowned. "I like my name better."

Monte chuckled and nodded

"Well it is." Lennon said. "I like having a name no one else at school has..." He said, trailing off as his phone went off in his pocket.

Monte sighed, knowing who it probably was.

Lennon swore, running a hand through his hair. "I forgot to reply to the message he sent eariler..." He mumbled.

Monte sighed and nodded.
