Theodore heard about the locker search in the middle and high school divisions of the campus at the same time as Alan.

Alan wasn't worried. He was actually glad because he saw it as a way for the staff to catch Kyle and get him out of the school finally. Theodore wasn't so sure it was that easy because to his knowledge Kyle never kept any drugs or whatever in his locker. He had everything in his backpack which was always with him.

Alan had no issue opening his locker for the security officer Hester Hollis who searched it thoroughly and actually complimented him on the neatness.

Hester laughed," My own locker didn't look this good in high school. You got OCD, kid ? "

Alan just flushed red and lowered his head while keeping silent.

The next locker she looked through was Theodore's which was not quite as neat and organized as Alan's. A lot of sheet music and empty water and Zam energy bottles. A couple pairs of thick socks for gym class. And there also was a baggie that had a couple of tiny white pills in it.

Alan paled under his tan and swallowed hard as he glanced at his boyfriend who looked startled. He leaned close to Theodore and whispered urgently," I thought you stopped taking it. You promised. "

Theodore was also looking pale. He whispered back," I did. I must have forgot I had them. I swear I'm not doing it anymore, Allie. "

Alan , without hesitation, said," I believe you."

Then he grabbed hold of Theodore's hand and squeezed it firmly.

Hester held the bag up and looked intensely at it. " Kid , you're coming to the headmaster's office with me. So is this. "
