Asher lead him into the room where all the boys slept on bunkbeds. Others in all shapes in sizes and colors scrambled over each other, some fully clothed, others less so. They bumped into each other, yelled at each other, and all avoided Asher. He didn't seem to mind, just held his head high and showed Chase a bunk near his own. "I'm on the top bunk." He told him as he pulled his boots off, and then began unbuttoning his shirt before climbing up onto the top. He grumbled something.
"Hey Asher..." One boy said quietly so no others heard him. He gave a frightened look at Chase and said, "Who's this?"
"Chase, new guy." Asher said quickly, shooing the boy away. He sighed and finished taking off his shirt, leaving on his pants and an undershirt. "Sorry about that..." He shrugged.

CHase shrugged and made an involunatry noise. "Eh, i get that all the time." He smirked over at the group of boys staring at him and whispering to each other. They all gave him a frightened look and scurried away. Chase let out a small laugh. He took off his boots and his shirts. He crawled into the lower bunk and put his hands behind his head, staring at the bottom of the top bunk.

Asher tried not to stare at Chase but he failed miserably. He slid off the bunk and said hurriedly, "I'll be right back." Then he ran into the bathroom to try and clear his head. The boy Asher had shooed away came scurrying back.
"Maybe you should leave while he's gone," He said. He glanced at the next room. "See, He;s weird. Yous shouldn't hand around with him. And none of his friends either..."

Chase got off the bunk hurridly. He stood up and glared at the boy. "What're ya goin on about?" He didn't know Asher all that well, but he sure as hell knew him better than this kid. He knew Brooke was an okay person too. Street seemed cool. They were his friends weren't they? HE didn't even add Levi into his thoughts. That wouldn't help his argument any. He glanced to the door Asher ran out of, no sign of him. He glanced at the group of guys anxiously awaiting to see what he would do. He looked back to the kid that was talking to him. "What's yer name anyway?"

The boy sneered. "Asher has secrets... Things that would make you drop him and run." He glanced around. "Me? My name's Samuel Towser. See... Asher's a liar. He screwed Moira O'Reilly and he won't tell Irish, I didn't know until Sean told Levi who told Street who told someone else who told me." Samuel sneered again. "A liar and faker, that's all he is. Not worth a horse's rear end. Get outta here quick, if you know what's good for ya."

Chase ground his teeth at this Samuel guy. HE narrowed his eyes. No one cared if he screwed some girl and didn't tell the chick's brother or what ever. It happens. His hands balled into fists. "So what? Maybe the kid wanted to keep his face the way it is." Or maybe he didn't want a broken nose. Whichever, Chase didn't care. Asher was his friend, i think, he thought, and he was willing to defend the people he cared about.

"Broken nose? That ain't the only thing he's not telling you. Ask him who he's been with lately." Samuel sneered. "Asher would have no problem tellin' Irish, it's Moira who didn't want him to. 'Cause she laid with him, and he's not normal." Samuel laughed grimly. "He seriously didn't tell you who he is? I'll be happy to tell you." Suddenly, Samuel was yanked back by a furious Asher. His face looked murderous and stormy. Samuel cowered.
"Leave him alone." Asher said dangerously, his voice low. "I want you to leave. Now."
"You can't make me do anything!" Samuel told him, standing. Asher punched him in the face. Then threw him from the room. "I'll tell him, I swear Asher Cromwell." Samuel called as he raced down the stairs, a black eye forming.

Chase laughed at Asher. Then he frowned pretending to be hurt. "Awe, i wanted ta do that." He smiled again. "Ah, well at least someone did." He didn't like rumors and didn't listen to any so he didn't care what Samuel had meant. He watched Asher glare at the rest of the boys, and they scattered. Some to beds, and others followed after Samuel. Chase chuckled again. He sat down on the bed again.

Asher sat across from him, his hands folded together. "I'm sorry about that. Samuel hates me since... well, for a good time now." Then he smiled a bit. "I never asked how old you were. I'm fourteen. Young, I know." He chuckled softly, someone looked at him with disgust, Asher ignored him.

Chase, still sitting on the bed, put his elbows on his knees. "Sixteen. Two years older." He looked closer at Asher. HE would have never guessed the small, scrawny boy like him could throw a guy twice his size out of a room. Chase shrugged. Looks were decieving. He thought about what Asher had told him about his other friends. THen, he realized there were not a lot of them, but more than Chase had ever known anyone to have. How many more were there? He wondered. "So tell meh about yer friends." He told him. "What are the others like?"

Asher frowned. "Some are crazy, others are nice, some lie and cheat. All in all, I would kill for them. And sometimes, I would kill them." He laughed softly. "You'll see what I mean, eventually..."

Chase laughed. "Let's make that sooner rather than later, eh?" For once, he was egar to meet new people. They seemed okay. Well in Asher's eyes anyway. He yawned. "Maybe tomorrow." He nodded slightly and laid back. He fought his eyes to stay open.

Asher nodded. "Yes. Tomorrow." Asher climbed onto his bunk and lay there, glancing at him. When everyone was asleep, he slid down to the floor. Chase was asleep. Asher looked around carefully, everyone was snoring. Asher leaned over him and kissed him gently, then pleased, climbed back into his bunk. He fell asleep with a smile.

Chase had finally fallen asleep to the sound of everyone's slow breathing. He closed his eyes and was immediatly asleep. He woke up in the morning and rubbed his eyes. He had no idea of what had happened yesterday. He opened his eyes and looked around. He didn't know where he was or who all these guys were. He jumped out of bed and saw Asher asleep on the top bunk. He sighed in relief. It was coming back to him now. He laid back down on the bunk bed. He closed his eyes again, but didn't fall asleep.

Asher blinked awake and rolled over. "Chase? You awake?" He whisper-shouted at him. Someone threw something at him. "Come on, we'll get something to eat." He pulled on another new shirt and his boots once he had slid to the floor silently. A trick he learned from Levi.
