Personal Narrative-Chapter V

“You wanna come up and play a few video games?” Nick asked.
Caleb leaned forward to look at the apartment building. “Is he in there?”
Nick shrugged. “Probably. But Aeron might be here, too. You don’t have to see him.”
Caleb shook his head and sat back. “Sorry, Nick. I can’t do it.”

Nick didn’t have a way to stop the rapid transformations, so he waited them out, searching for Stone’s clothes in the process. He found them, one by one. He hoped Stone would have the decency to keep this from the kids at school. Neither of them wanted the humiliation. Perhaps this would stay between them.
