ANTHONY'S POV

Listening to him talk about his childhood kinda put into perspective why he was such a jerk and an asshole. But, just because a few people bullied him and taunted him for his parents’ choice in a partner didn’t give him the right to transfer his aggression to us. I felt bad for him, I know how cruel kids can be, but that didn’t mean I could accept his behavior.

“I messed up, big time. My dads have tried ever since we moved here to spend more time with me, but I’ve been too mad at them and myself to do it. I really care about them. I love them so much, but I hated myself more so I couldn’t give them the chance to get close to me. I hardly invited Blake and Dante over just in case they’d run into them. I had just moved and it was really hard for me to fit in cause I was a recluse and people didn’t like recluse. But Blake, he made everything easier. He introduced me to Dante as his friend and I thought how that had never happened to me before. Then Blake found out that they

  • The Clay Connection   CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE

    ANTHONY’S POV Nothing in my life has ever felt more awkward than thins!I never imagined that one day I’d be sitting in the front seat of Luke’s Civic, the ear-bleeding lyrics and beats of Drake emanating at an ungodly volume through the speakers which was only put on in the first place because of how uncomfortable the silence was, while I tapped my fingers against my thigh and produced an incredulous amount of sweat considering the season we were in.This was a bad idea. It wasn’t wise of me to accept Claire’s suggestion of Luke and I hanging out. I wasn’t trying to be mean or offensive when I said the only thing we had in common was our friends. I could tell he was nervous and uncomfortable too despite his earlier act and insistence of me going over to his place.His house was a pretty two-story structure with a garden path and a picket fence. It was somewhat surprising to see that Luke Evans grew up in such a homely-looking place. His character from the early years I knew him made

    BLAKE’S POVHis glare was starting to scare me.“Hey, I got us tickets to go see that snow fight on Friday.” I had to pry my eyes away from my scowling boyfriend to focus on Claire. She was sitting next to me today in the cafeteria, which was not weird but unusual since she sat next to Luke most of the time in order for her to tease him without any constraints. Today, however, Tony was the one who sat next to Luke which was an oddly satisfying but weird pairing. Dante hadn’t joined us yet. He was still trying to get some girl’s contact over by the tap.“You’re paying to watch people fight with snow?” Luke asked through a mouthful of lasagna. “Let’s go to the parking lot and I’ll bury you in it for free.”Usually, she’d respond with something snarky that would make him go mute for a long time, but today, she just pretended like he hadn’t even spoken. I don’t know if Luke noticed this or not, but he didn’t seem the least bothered by her silent treatment.“Hey, sweetie, you okay?” I coul

    ANTHONY’S POV“Did you know Blake had a new girlfriend?”I choked on my saliva as soon as the words left Anderson’s mouth. With my eyes wide and my hand stuck midair as I was pulling out my textbook, I stared at him.“What? Where did you hear that from?”“Him.”“Him? As in, Blake himself?” Anderson nodded and inched closer to me. I didn’t notice it at first because of the initial shock of the information he presented me with, but he looked a little frantic. Almost livid.“Did you know about it? I thought he broke up with your sister? Are they secretly dating? Is that the new girlfriend he was referring to?”“Well, if he’s secretly dating my sister, then there’s no way I’d know about it since it’s a secret and they’re obviously doing a good job about hiding it. But if he said that he had a new girlfriend…” I trailed off here because I no idea what to say about that. I was still trying to wrap my head around the reason behind Blake’s sudden confession when he appeared behind Anderson, a

    BLAKE’S POV“You have got to be kidding me!” Tony spat. “I leave you alone for one second and you are already out there, frolicking with all the girls at NCH.”“Okay, now that’s a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think?” He did not like my choice of words. I was used to seeing Tony mad – I made him so for a really long time – but seeing him downright furious was something I was not used to. His eyes were bulging out of his sockets and his face was so red, I figured water would sizzle if I poured it on him.“Sweetie…”“Don’t ‘sweetie’ me you philandering piece of shit!”We were both taken aback by his outburst, him more than me though, but he managed to maintain his air of anger and fury at my actions. I realized all too soon that being all coy and cheeky will not get me out of this one.“Tony, I was wrong, okay? It’s my fault that you’re angry and I shouldn’t have done what I did.” He scoffed and rolled his eyes.“You were supposed to be brainstorming your project with Anderson

    BLAKE’S POVThere was something wrong.The way she moved. The way she spoke. Even the way she looked! But most importantly, the way she held the clay.Clara was angry, everyone could tell that, but what was surprising was how she held the clay in her hands that she was using to demonstrate how to burnish after molding. The sides of the almost hardened clay were beginning to crack from the pressure her palms exerted on them. All of us were deathly quiet probably to know if we could hear the bowl crack, but mostly so our heads wouldn’t be next in line.“I am going to need you guys to come together again and make something that would be worthy to be in our local museum. I’m not going to tell you what to make, you’re going to have to come up with it. This time around you’ll have a longer time period to get on with it because I want your pieces to go through the whole process. If you cannot paint by now, I suggest you learn how.” She glared at me when she said that last part and for the fi
