p_r_i_s_c_aTitle: Making new friends
Character: Zeke Tyler, Casey Connor, Tim Walker
Words: 309
Prompt: Any, Any, making a new friend.

Casey stepped closer to the boy, sitting alone on the old wooden bench of the bleachers, pretending to read a book. "Hey, "he greeted him.
"What's up? "
"I am wondering if you could need some company. "
"What? "The boy frowned, obviously surprised. "Why should you care? "
Casey chuckled slightly and dropped down on the bench. "It's never easy to be the new one at school. Herrington High can be like a hellhole, but I can tell you it's not that bad when you hang around with friends. "
"Pfft. I don't want new friends. I shouldn't even want to be here. My dad wanted me to go to a boarding school in the Alpes, a boarding school for music. "Suddenly, he looked sad. "But then... well, none of your business. "
"Sometimes it can help to talk about your problems. "
The boy rolled his eyes. "You are a real pain in the ass. We don't you just leave me alone? I want to read. "
"Just what Zeke used to say, too. A pain in the ass. "Casey grinned. "Nevertheless, we've become best friends. Makes life so much easier, not to be alone in your separate bubble all the time. "
Footsteps on the stairs made him turn around. "Oh, Zeke, I was just talking about you. This is...ähm... "He looked at the boy questioningly.
"Tim, "he answered, "Tim Walker. "
"He's new at school, "Casey explained. "Maybe he could join us tonight? We will have a movie night at Zeke's garage, together with some friends. You are welcome. "
"I am not... "Tim wanted to protest, but Zeke only shrugged. "Sure, why not? If you are interested in some good, classic sci-fi movies. "
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers," Casey added. "Crazy shit; you will love it. So, you coming?"
While Tim was still hesitating, Zeke grinned. "You better do," he said. "Casey is on a mission, and he will never accept a 'no' when he is."
