Danny's arms dropped and something in his expression soured. That twisting in his gut got worse. It wasn't supposed to feel like this. He got a weird sort of joy out of brushing people off. Ignoring them and walking away and generally being rude. It was part of being cool. You couldn't be cool if you associated with everyone. He'd done it to every girl he'd ever dated. In fact, it felt amazing with them because he hated talking to them. Especially when it came to Rizzo.
But this? This was different. It's not like he could be with Tanner like when he was with a chick. It wasn't like that. Guys didn't do that with each other. What happened at the beach, it was just fun. But this was school. This was the the real world.
"That's right." A flippant tone, but it felt wrong. "Look..." he let out a sigh as he glanced around. The courtyard was clearing out pretty fast, and no one was paying attention to them. "...it's just...different here. It all works different, alright?"
