"So, you and Kendrix? Shoulda seen that one coming, man."
The curious sound of Leo's voice interrupted Kai's train of thought, and his pencil's tip snapped as he jumped, lead spraying across his notebook.
"What? Oh. No."
"Huh. My sources are never wrong."
Kai rolled his eyes and lightly dusted the splattered pencil into his trash bin. Right. Sources. Probably Bulk and the Professor.
"First time for everything, dude."
Ignoring Leo's look of annoyance, Kai concentrated on his notebook. It was just scribbles, although some of it resembled notes and reminders for his work at the GSA.
"Well, Bul--Uh, my source, Brain, said that you have been seen acting all 'moony and love sick.' So if not Kendrix, who??"
It was a rather blunt question, but coming from Leo, Kai wasn't all that surprised. He was the king at that trick. Maya showed more tact than him, and that was saying something.
Exhaling loudly, Kai said, sharply, "No one, okay? There's no one. No girl. No guy. No 'it.'"
"Aww," Leo pouted, and Kai quickly looked away, biting his lower lip. No. It wouldn't work.
Kai was learning. Slowly, but surely, he was learning his friend's games.
