Chapter 78: Are You In Love, Renn?

"Are you really going to dig into this whole Angela matter, bro?" Hiro asked for what felt like the hundredth time that day. Renn let out a sigh and looked across the stadium. His eyes settled on Principal Valois, the woman he couldn’t stand. She was standing there with Angela—his girlfriend. His chest tightened. What was she doing with her? Was Angela in trouble?

"You’re not even listening to me," Hiro snapped, clearly fed up. He turned and began to walk away. He needed Renn, but it seemed Renn had his own issues and wasn’t going to say anything useful.

"Hey, where are you going?" Renn called out, surprised that he was walking off like that.

"Why are you asking?" Hiro replied, his tone full of frustration. "You’re completely lost today. I don’t know if it’s just me, but everyone’s been acting strange since I woke up."

Renn ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "Sorry, man. Come on, let’s sit and talk like brothers."

He dropped onto one of the empty seats in the row. A few girls nearby were staring at them, giggling and whispering, but he rolled his eyes. He wasn’t in the mood for that. The only person he wanted near him right now was Angela. And there she was, with Valois. He couldn’t stop thinking about it.

"I thought you didn’t want to hear me out," Hiro said as he joined him, still frowning. "What changed now?"

"Why wouldn’t I listen to you?" Renn said with a small laugh, looking over at him. "You’ve got no one else, Hiro. No parents. Your pack might hear you out, but I know you’re not ready to share anything with them. And your brothers, Taros and Kaito...we both know you don’t really talk to them unless it’s war or trouble."

"Mock me all you want," Hiro laughed, shaking his head. "It’s not like you have any parents either."

"That’s low," Renn grinned. "You’re breaking my heart."

They both burst into laughter. That was one of the things that made them close. They had their differences, but pain was something they both understood.
