Bread was served at every meal at the Academy. Brandon grabbed a few sweet rolls
with Tammy. Scanning the
large Super cafeteria, Brandon's eyes stopped when he
found the Super
they needed. Tammy would
blab in the Commons if he let her stay.
“Tammy. Would you
take my food and head on over to the special meeting
early.
I'll be right behind you.” He gave
her a reassuring smile. She cocked her head briefly
and returned his
smile with a wink.
“Right-O, Captain!”
She took his napkin of rolls and skipped off.
Brandon took a deep
breath as he watched her leave. He then turned back to the room,
making a direct beeline for Jason. As
always, the redhead was surrounded by a small
group, chatting and
laughing up a storm. Jason waved
Brandon over as soon as he spotted
the stoic blond teenager. Jason
chuckled as Brandon nodded to him
and jerked his head
at the group.
“Tough crowd tonight?” Brandon
asked.
“Nope.” Jason
smirked. “I have them eating out of the palm of my hand!” That
created a wave
of laughter. Heads
turned on from every side of the room, craning. Jason winked at his
friend.
Brandon's mouth
twitched. The joke was on them- they didn't know he was serious.
