from the driver trying to stop.”
     
    Meg walked around the area and remarked, “Boy, Jay is lucky that drunk didn’t hit him.  Actually, so are you!”
     
    “I know.”  I looked down towards the Jay’s aunt’s residence and did not see any car.  “Anyway, let’s head home.”  
                 
    On Monday I didn’t see Jay anywhere.  I looked at his lunch table and saw Soren sitting there with his buddies.  He looked over and acknowledged me with a nod.  I had to know if Jay was ok but I didn’t have the nerve to approach Soren with all those people around.  I  floated through my day stewing over why Jay was there when the dog attacked and why was he not at school today.  I’d have to actually read my text books to find out what my teachers were talking about because my brain was elsewhere.  The final bell rang and I packed up my homework and headed out the school doors.  I saw Soren finishing up with one of his track buddies and decided to slow my steps in hopes to chat with him alone.
     
    “Hey Soren, got a second?”  I asked.
     
    “Hey Brogen, how are you?” He looked me up and down, not in a sexual ‘checking you out’ kinda’ way, but in a ‘do you have any noticeable injuries’ kinda’ way.
     
    “I’m better.  No outward scars - not sure about the internal scarring yet.  That whole night was a mess.  Where’s Jay?  He wasn’t at school today.”
     
    “He’s better.  He got released from the hospital Sunday morning.  He’ll have a lot of scars...I think they said 65 stitches in total, plus rabies shots.”  I looked down and shook my head.  I couldn’t help feeling like it was my fault - though I did nothing to precipitate this event.  “My mom thought he should take it easy today and have a relaxing day of R n’ R at home.  He should be back tomorrow.”
     
    “Your mom?  She’s Jay’s aunt??  That makes you guys cousins.”  Soren nodded and smiled.  “Thanks for the update.  There was a lot of blood, were his bites deep?”
     
    “All the bites were about the same - medium severity.  Jay just has a way of getting a little more hurt than most people.  You know, growing up, we could all jump off the same table and scuff our knees, but Jay would always require a hospital visit and stitches or glue.  Just unlucky I guess.”
     
    “Well, I’m really grateful he helped save me.  I’ll thank him the next time I see him.  Thanks for the update Soren.”
     
    “Hey, are you sure you’re ok?  Jay was asking me to check in with you.  Honestly, I almost forgot so I’m glad you approached me.  He was really worried about you.”  I couldn’t believe he was worried about me, I didn’t even get a scratch.  I was starting to see some of his charm.
     
    “Tell him I’m good and that I hope he feels better.”
     
    “Okay - see ya’ Brogen.”  I waved goodbye and headed toward home.  Meg caught up with me and asked about my chat with Soren. 
     
    “Wow, Jay was asking about you.  Nice guy.”  I nodded in agreement.  That was the longest I had ever spoken to Soren and I was glad he was nice.
     
     

 
    Chapter 5
     
    The next day Jay walked into Algebra wearing jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt.  No bandages or stitches visible.  He caught me looking at him and gave me a little smile.  I smiled back, blushed and looked down at my paper in embarrassment.  I was not brave enough to look at him anymore in class but I could swear he glanced at me several times.  When the bell rang I gathered my books and quickly exited the class -  too bashful to talk to him.  Clearly he was ok, he was at school after all.  What more did I need to ask him?
     
    I went to my locker and traded out my books for my next class.  I heard Becca’s sickly sweet sing-song voice and couldn’t help but see who she was targeting.  Coming around the corner I saw her long blonde hair bouncing before I saw the rest of her, and then I saw him.
