Bab 93: Chapter 93

Luke had always been a big guy. Tall. Broad shoulders. Thick muscles. Played football, lacrosse, and basketball. Someone who could have easily been stereotyped as a dumb jock but was nice to everyone and volunteered at homeless shelters and graduated high school with honors. He then went on to start his own business of painting houses at reasonable prices and now volunteered as a coach at an LGBTQ youth center.

People had been surprised when Luke Stabile and Henry Kato struck up such a close friendship.

While Luke was a jock, Henry had been a bona fide theater kid ever since childhood. Henry loved being on stage and the rush of adrenaline that pumped through him when the spotlight hit him. He helped organize every school play and musical. Had a hand in the volunteer community theater’s youth program. Always had a decent role. Even once landed the part of Romeo in a modern adaptation of the play. Though far from shy, Henry had tended to mostly keep to his crowd.
