What I think will be sad and sweet is having Chase and Liam talk about the feelings and experiences of half-siblings along with absent parents.

"we're more alike than you like to think"

"whatever..."

Liam and Chase sat in their assigned spots in detention. The teacher had gone out for a minute to speak to the principal. Liam could hear them saying that they would phone the parents. The blonde had started the fight as he did most times.

Chase didn't throw any hits or even retaliated back. However when the teacher pulled them from the 'fight' Chase said he did. And that was the thing that irked Liam the most. How chase

Never did Liam thought he would have something in common with his enemy-

Chase Boxleitner.

As long as he could remember he held a grudge against the brown haired preteen. Wall not really a grudge. But moreso on the line of jealousy. Here Chase had both of his parents in his life. Except....

He didn't actually.

Liam had assumed all this time given by how many times he saw Chase with his family at the P.T.As and neighborhood cookouts. He even called the orange haired lady mother for Pete's sake! It just didn't make sense. There weren't actually related. Sure Liam's dad married Keen. But he didn't call him father.

It just did not make sense to him.

"...."

Then again nothing made sense about Chase. Liam stared at said boy who was holding the icepack on his arm. Liam looked away not wanting to feel that ping of guilt for hurting his classmate. Being soft meant people would pity him. And he didn't want pity. Still...he felt inclined ask:

"you don't feel replaced?"

Chase looked up at him with his mismatched eyes. They didn't hold malice however Liam could tell he was thinking things over. "No...not really. " Chase says. he paused before admitting. "Sometimes I do feel out of place though...like an oddball"

"you are one." Liam says rolling his eyes. His tone wasn't smug however. He was quiet for a bit before adding "I feel that way sometimes ..."
