Oh, of course it was Gerard skulking around his classroom. Didn't that just figure. Mikey moved fast, apparently. That made Adam kind of cranky. Mikey was such a turncoat! Adam didn't need him to talk to Gerard and straighten all of this out. Adam was just... going to keep avoiding Gerard. That was all he needed.
"No, I'd just finished grading some essays and I was cleaning up before heading to bed," Adam said. He was going to have to man up about this. He didn't really want to. He wanted to tell Gerard that he was horribly busy and didn't have the time to talk to him. Also he felt his face get hot nearly immediately. He was never going to be able to look straight at Gerard without blushing.
He stepped back out of the door. "Come on in," he said. "I just found a pack of cigarettes under a chair. So uh. I guess we can share one and... you can tell me why you came by," Adam said. He had to take a deep breath and turn away for a minute. This sucked.
