Chapter 70: Matt and his friends

Firefly was currently the center of attention by the other kids. Matt, Ethan, Owen, Emmet and Lucy kept on asking him questions about where he came from, about his powers, his family, and other things he had experienced in the forest.

Firefly was very humble and he didn't brag about his life. He simply answered mildly and with not too much information about his personal life.

"Where do you live currently?" asked Emmet.

"I live in the trees. I make do with the leaves and with branches and such. Trees are a Wood Sprite's home." said Firefly.

"Why is your name Firefly?" asked Matt.

"My father liked fireflies. He thought they were elegant. And that's why he named me after them. I'm not going to lie, it's a little embarrassing to be called Firefly and not have anything to do with the bug." said Firefly.

"Sorry we're bombarding you with a ton of questions. You are new, and we kinda want to know everything about you." said Ethan.

"Am I being interrogated?" asked Firefly jokingly.

"No, of course not." said Emmet.

"Kinda of." said Owen.

"You guys are FBI or Illuminati?" asked Firefly.

Everyone cracked up, even Matt, who was suddenly starting to feel so much better. After they had eaten Pizza (they were back in the arcade, since it was their current favorite place to hang out), Ethan pulled Matt aside as the others went to play video games.

"Matt, I had a vision about you last night." said Ethan.

"You did?" asked Matt nervously.

"I saw you crying." said Ethan.

Matt nodded and calmly spoke to Ethan. "I found Tyrone and Destiny in bed last night. They did it." said Matt.

"Did what?" asked Ethan.

"They DID it." said Matt.

"You mean.. Oh! Got it." said Ethan.

"I'm still a little pissed off about it." said Matt.

"How come?" asked Ethan.

"Tyrone has always been my big brother. And he was always there for me and he loved me. To have him do something this big without me knowing is very... hurtful." said Matt.

"Did he need to tell you that he and his girlfriend were going to go for it? Did you really need to know that?" asked Ethan.

"Well... it's just that....." Matt didn't know what to say.

"Look, Tyrone's got his own life. He's an adult. And we are just kids. We don't know anything about... you know." said Ethan.

"Sex. We might as well say the word Ethan. We're not stupid." said Matt.

"Well okay, Tyrone had sex with Destiny. Big deal." said Ethan.

"It is for me." said Matt.

"Why?" asked Ethan.

Matt lowered his gaze. "Tyrone and Destiny are special to me. But I love Tyrone and to see him with her like that... it was so.... Like I didn't even know him." said Matt.

"So you're mad at him?" asked Ethan.

"Yes. And No. It's complicated!" cried Matt.

"Yeah." said Ethan.
