"Dave, wait, stop!"
Sid wanted to stop him, wanted to talk to him, but Dave, furious, kept running away from him. Sid tugged on his sleeve unsuccessfully until he finally blocked his way and spread his arms. If Dave wanted to get past him, he had to use force. Dave stopped.
"Dave, let's talk!" Sid pleaded. "You are acting so weird ... I don't understand ..."
"What do you not understand? Paxton turned Martin gay and you don't understand? "
"First, we don't know if Paxton turned Martin gay," pointed out Sid. "You don't know if Martin has been dating other guys before ..."
"Certainly not!"
"How do you know?"
"Do you remember that girl who came with a friend to pick up the car?"
"I remember," admitted the younger of the boys.
"It was Martin's girlfriend!"
