Ian sat there for a while after answering AJ's question about the summer break watching his two friends. Strange thing though, he felt kind of weird because he wasn't sure he should be listening, but not wanting to tear himself away. He looked at AJ and wished he was as good a speaker as his buddy Adi. His stomach felt weird (must be hunger pangs)
and he kind of sorta in a strange way wished he was the one saying those things to AJ. He'd never really thought about it. He kind of wished he'd sat on the other side of AJ instead of next to Adi. Now there was Adi in between him and AJ and he felt like he was a little left out.
He heard them talking to someone else and looked and saw Xander nearby and they appeared to be trying to cheer him up or something. He smiled and tried to be encouraging as well.
