Throughout high school, even the brief stint in college, there was no shortage of jocks and show-offs, but this Jaxen guy was unlike anyone he'd ever met. Elyse and Sierra were eating out of the palm of his hand, and even Eli found himself wanting to laugh at his jokes. How did Jaxen do it?
Eli never commented on his thoughts. In fact, he felt his expression flatten as Jaxen finished his conversation. He snatched back his uncle's Wallet when Jaxen was finished with it and quickly returned it to an inner pocket of his coat.
Should he start with the story of how he met the girls? That they met over a can of tuna and shared values? Either way, it looked like he wasn't going to get out of having to share his own name. "We met over a can of tuna and Sierra's good aim."
His glance flashed across three faces. "Elias Donovan,"
he told them.
