Rhodey was looking at his yearbook. He laughed at Tony's photo, he had been persistent for a "fish-face" photo. He looked to his picture, and smiled approvingly. This year had been just fine, just fine. He glanced at Pepper's photo. She had grown her hair out LONG this year, and her freckles were almost completely gone. She was breathtaking this year. 'Gene's missing out.' Rhodey thought, amused. Gene: A back-stabbing creep. He returned his attention to the yearbook. He always like to look at the last person in the yearbook. He flipped to the last page. Whitney Stane, He could almost feel his heartbeat pump faster. He remembered he had drooled over her once. "Hey Rhodey, you're drooling." Tony had mused. He could've added an Oo-la-la there. It was true he had the tiniest crush on Whitney, but Tony and Whitney were an item now. His best friend: but it wasn't his fault or anything. Since Tony had never brought it up, and he never felt the need to express it: he remained silent about it. It was horrible to see Tony leave her alone every time like that, but he brushed it off. 'It isn't my problem.' What he didn't realize was that it was slowly tearing him apart.
