"Hi."
"Fags," someone muttered.
Jared lazily reached his hand toward his pocket. All became silent.
"Cowards," he whispered in my ear.
"And do they ever come up with a new insult?"
"Nah, why should they, when they can just use this one over and over?" He smiled at me. I shivered slightly.
"Cold?"
"No."
"You sure? I have a spare jacket."
"Yeah, I'm sure."
