Excerpt
“I’m really proud of you,” Rhys’ dad says, shaking his son’s hand and pulling him in for a hug. When he lets go, Rhys doesn’t speak, distracted by something two cars down. Rhys’ dad follows his son’s gaze to the unnaturally tan boy taking his cap off and shaking his head to try to fluff out his hair.
“Who’s
that?” his dad asks, smirking at Rhys.
The
guy checks his reflection in the side mirror and runs his fingers through his
hair.
“Huh?
Oh, just some guy.”
“Go
talk to him,” his dad says, pushing him toward the guy.
“Dad,
no,” Rhys says, blushing.
“Maybe
I should tell your mother about him, she’ll talk to him for you,” his dad
offers, a mischievous grin on his face.
“What’s
that?” his mother asks, distracted by taking pictures of the buildings surrounding
the quadrangle.
“Nothing.”
Rhys sighs. “I hate you,” he whispers to his dad, a smile on his face as he
walks down to the guy, who’s wearing a blue T-shirt and khaki shorts.
“Hey,
Liam. Congratulations on graduating.”
“Yeah,
thanks… you too.” Liam looks at Rhys like he’s trying to place him.
“Thanks.
It’s Rhys, by the way. We had a couple of classes together.”
“Yeah,
I know who you are.” Liam smiles. “You made that B*Witched documentary for our
film editing class.”
“Yeah,
I did. And you made a film about how Japanese Americans were treated during
World War II. It was really good,” Rhys adds after a few seconds of
silence.
“So,
I gotta get going and meet my parents at their hotel.” Liam tosses his cap and
gown in the trunk before getting in his car.
“Oh,
right. Yeah, my family is waiting too.” Rhys turns toward them and sees his mom
taking a picture of the guys talking. “Dammit.” He looks back at Liam and sees
him smiling.
“Later,”
Liam says, shutting the door and starting his car.
“Bye,”
Rhys mumbles, turning and sulking back to his family. “That was so
embarrassing!” he says when he reaches the car.
