Neighbors
Samuel carries Justin towards me, and then his eyes shift to Max.
"Samuel, he is my coach." Justin slips from his arms and stands beside Max, "Coach, he is Samuel, my friend. He is the one who taught me all those tricks which I had shown you." He continues to speak, oblivious to the tension which is brewing between us.
"Hello, I am Samuel, Ariana's neighbor." Samuel extends his hands towards Max.
"Hi, I am Max, her best friend." Max shakes his hand while placing his free arm around my shoulder, completely taking me by surprise.
