Conner had thought he’d had Ethan James pegged: typical geek, too busy going to computer club to indulge in the finer things of life (i.e., sports and girls, not necessarily in that order). And like most geeks, he’d probably talk Conner’s head off about video games and computer programs he really didn’t care about at all-- so he didn’t bother.
Then came the Dino Gems.
And okay, Ethan did talk his head off about video games and computer programs. But he was smart-- as in not just computers; he had also saved their backsides because he’d noticed what he and Kira hadn’t. And his wisecracks actually made Conner laugh (unlike his soccer teammates, who definition of humor was how far they thought a girl would go on the first date). And while Conner was never ever going to admit out loud, he was kind of glad Ethan would let him know (very vocally) if he did something stupid. It was more than his teammates ever did for him, that was for sure.
And maybe…
Nah. Ethan would never see him that way. Not like that. Better to stick with
