The boys brought Chris into the dorm while his "car" was in the shop. They found him mysterious and a bit weird, as well.
"Where did you say you were from again?" Phil asked him.
"I grew up in a small, rural part of England. It's nowhere you'd recognize."
"Uh... ok... so why are you here?" Will asked.
"Because I crashed my car, duh."
They all chuckled.
Jonny had been especially quiet since the blue-eyed man had showed up. He was adorable. He was funny. He was strange. And Jonny was intrigued by him.
It seemed that Chris was intruiged by Jonny, too, because every time Jonny looked up, he saw Chris watching him.
"Jonny, you've been quiet. Are you alright?" Guy asked.
"Oh, I'm fine. Just uh... shy."
He looked up at Chris, and again, saw him staring. His heart lurched, and he suddenly had an idea.
"Hey Chris, do you like music?" He asked.
"Of course I do."
"Can you play a guitar?"
"Yeah."
"A piano?"
"Easily."
"Can you sing?"
"I could try."
Phil grinned and stood up. "Wanna demonstrate for us?" He asked Chris, handing him Jonny's guitar.
Chris smiled and began to play the guitar with ease.
"This is great! Now we can start our band!" Phil said excitedly.
Will rolled his eyes. "Phil, we can't start a band with a man we hardly know. This guy could be a murderer for all we know!"
Chris looked to Jonny.
Jonny turned, caught Chris staring again, and sighed. His mind said one thing, but his heart said another.
Will was right, they hardly even knew the guy. But somehow, Jonny knew that they could trust him. Somehow, he knew that Chris would change everything.
"I think we should give him a shot," he said, and Chris smiled, as if approving of Jonny's words.
After a long moment, Will finally agreed. "But if he does anything to piss me off, he's out."
"Oh don't worry about that. At least, not yet."
The group chuckled.
"What should we call ourselves?" Guy asked.
"How about Starfish?" Suggested Will.
The group nodded and agreed that Starfish would be their name.
Jonny looked at Chris, and again caught him staring. This time, he smiled back...
