i am coldBoy, he was angry. Angrier than his daddy when he yelled on the home phone and his voice went through the entire house. He wasn’t angry because he was yelling on the phone – he wasn’t allowed to use the phone – but because he was losing. To a girl.

His stomach churned, his fists balled up and he thrust his chest out, taking a gulp of air too big for his tiny lungs. He was holding back a scream, a curse. At least, he would be if he knew what to say without being mistaken as a bad sport.
