"She's not," Felix admitted, recalling Carol's forward advances with a visible distaste.

Nathan's face soured with envy. "Man, I swear, if I had your looks, I'd be juggling girlfriends left and right."

Nathan was your average Joe, standing at five foot nine, the epitof ordinary. But he was Felix's best bud - the brother he never

had.

They strolled to Nathan's place in the alley, a humble, snug home, but it was his - no rent like Felix had to deal with.
