Christine sat next to the only friends she knew during lunch. She already finished her English and Math which were requirements for any career. "So, How did you like Mrs. Elbin?" Raoul asked Meg. He was a sophomore college student but was often mistaken for a teacher or a senior.

"I had problems finding the room and got there late." Meg complained. She had a feeling it was going to be a long semester. "She's one of my favorites." Raoul added. He found her class the easiest to pass.

Christine had her cheek slumped into her palm as she thought of her vocal lessons the night before. His voice teased at her ears such ashame she couldn't find him anywhere in the school. She thought he was a teacher or maybe a volunteer.

"Christine, get your head out of the clouds." Meg ordered. "Little Lotte..." Raoul said perking Christine's interest.

"Little Lotte?" Meg questioned. "That's her nickname." Raoul said with a suggestive tone as if they were more then friends. Meg didn't like the thought of Christine cozying up to the stud of the school.

"We're childhood friends." Christine pointed out before Meg drew her own conclusions. "Childhood friends?" Meg said not hiding the fact that she was jealous. Christine was only 5'6" and Raoul was 6'0" but, that wasn't always the case. "I protected him from bullies. I was taller then him and stronger." Christine proudly bragged.

Meg looked at Raoul trying to confirm if Christine was right or not. Raoul's slightly red face was all the confirmation she needed to break into laughter. She didn't believe a buff, bushy guy like Raoul needed protection let alone from a porcelain doll like Christine.

"In my defense I was sick as a kid." He said earning a "awe." from Meg. "Christine, was my only friend threw the years." He continued as a she awed again. "Then I started to have romantic feelings and by the time I knew how I felt Christine moved." Raoul embarrassingly confessed.

"I could of been the best wingman ever." Christine stated not at all aware of Raoul's feelings towards her. She was blind to the ways of the heart. Meg looked at Raoul and just felt sorry for him. He wasted his childhood on a girl that completely friend zoned him.

"I don't think he was talking about just any girl." Meg teased as Raoul tried to laugh her comment off. "Whoever, she was she let one of the better ones go." Christine joked as Meg laughed at Christine's ignorance. "You think?" Raoul asked as old feelings were starting to stir.

"Well, Yay. If you ignore the fact you got snot everywhere and pulled my hair every chance you got. You were a pretty nice kid." Christine replied. She liked how after all these years they were back together as the dynamic duo they were destiny to be. Now trio.

Christine smiled at Raoul as a gesture that she was happy. Happy to have two of her most dear friends together. Raoul mistook her smile as a symbol of flirtation and started wondering if Christine wasn't as clueless as she acted.

"Christine, do you wanna come to Alpha Sig tonight?" He asked. "I can't. I have a curfew." Christine replied quickly intent on keeping her word. "For me?" He begged. "I can't." Christine repeated. "Just for a hour?" Raoul didn't want to stop until she gave a satisfying 'Yes'.

"That won't interfere with your curfew." Meg said, supporting Raoul rather then Christine. "I really can't. I have plans." She stated hoping he would give up. "Plans with who?" He asked. He voice was laced with jealousy, his poison.

"No one." Christine replied wanting to keep her Angel a secret. "Then there's nothing hold you back then?" Raoul stated. "Uhhh.." she hesitated. She couldn't say yes but at the same time she could give a reasonable no.

"I guess I'll go." Christine sounded defeated by her two so called friends who refused to hear I can't pass her lips another time. "The team would love to meet you." Raoul said. He wanted to show her off to everyone he knew so maybe they would pressure her into a relationship with him. Sure it wasn't the most ideal plan but it was the best one he had so far.
