There was something about Hadyn that had grated on him since the day they'd first actually had to speak to each other - which hadn't been until Ollie had become a Ten. In some ways being a Nine of Diamonds, first chair violinist had made for an easier life. At least one free of tangling with Hadyn Novak, who did, he thought, seem to enjoy doing the little things that were bound to put other people on edge. If he was charitable he would have reminded himself that Hadyn wouldn't have any idea that the phrase drink you want so badly was nearly enough to send Ollie running the opposite way from any bottles of anything. Instead his spine snapped straight and the tight-lipped expression Ty had managed to banish slammed back into place.

"Thank you," he said, and when he looked back at Ty, at least his eyes were losing the annoyed glitter that Ty's father had so easily invoked. "Someone needs to call Dr. Prochazka," he said. "I should do that before we do anything else. I didn't even think about it until now." And he wasn't sure Carlos would think about it. Of course, Ty's parents might have done it. Either one. Hadyn had been in the hall for a while, and Elisha Kagan arranged everything in and out of sight while seeming not to do much more than throw catnip mice for his cat.
