Adam freezes up when he hears the sound of footsteps coming in his direction from outside of the bathroom. Apparently his flight wasn't as cool and calm as he'd tried to make it be, and now Gansey's about to find him, after he'd claimed to be getting better.
Then he can hear the laughter and voices accompanying them and he knows that it isn't Gansey, Lynch, or Kavinsky, and he can't recall ever actually seeing Noah on school grounds. Some of the tension leaves him, though, but not all of it. They can still come in here. And indeed they do.
He endures it, the laughter and insults. And vaguely he recognizes Swan and Prokopenko. He knows of them as former hangers-on of Kavinsky, and the awful truth about Prokopenko but little else. That's more than enough in Adam's books books because he knows how Kavinsky used to be and still can be. "Fuck you." The response is muttered out to himself as he stays where he is, half frozen on hands and knees before he finds himself again and starts collecting his things, shaking them occasionally in the hopes that there might be something he missed.
