Wheres the money, kid?

"Wheres the money, kid?!" The shortest but the most muscular one spat towards Adam. Adam scooted back. "I-I Here- Hold on sir-" He said, grabbing some spare two ten-dollar bills. With a shaky hand, he raised the money towards him. The boy snatched it out of his hand. "Bitch." He mocked, spitting on him. The bullies walked away, talking about something the poor kid didn't care for. 
He felt tears threaten to fall. His shoulders started to shake.
Tim and Jaiden walked over. "Hey- what's wrong?-.." Jaiden said, squatting down to him. As she took a good look at him, her eyes widened. "...Oh.." She breathed. Adam had two thin cuts on his nose and a few bruises on his cheekbone. Although, somehow, he still manages to pull off a good look.
           "Why didn't you run this time?" Tim chimed in. Adam looked up at him. 
"I- I did.... I just...-" Adam paused, "I ran into this boy.. And when I ran into him, we just stared at each other. Not awkwardly or anything- just... In a trance."
Jaiden and Tim looked at each other in confusion. "What'd he look like?" Jaiden asked.
"He was- beautiful. He had dirty blonde hair, and he was wearing a grey hoodie. I think- he was wearing jeans? And he had some blue converses on." Adam breathed.
"JAMES?!" Tim screeched.
"Jesus Christ, Tim! A little louder, please? Jamaica doesn't want to hear you." Jaiden cried. Tim ignored her. "Adam- are you talking about James?" Tim lowered his voice.
"I-I don't- I don't know." Adam sighed, standing up off of the ground and fixing his posture. His 5'11 posture. 
"Yeah, Adam, the dude you ran into goes by the name of James Rallison. School bully. He's like--the bullies of all bullies. If he's ever nice to you, or anyone, then you're really really unique and special, man." Jaiden hesitantly said. 
"Wow, that's great." Adam joked, right before the obnoxious screech of the school bell overcame all the voices in the hallway.
   "Uh- Talk to y'all later." Adam sighed, waving and walking off.
