Rayanne had struggled with whether or not to confront Sharon about their kiss on Saturday night. She was finally working up the courage when she spotted the girl kissing her boyfriend. So much for their break up.

She was berating herself that she should have known better and turned abruptly, knocking into Brian.

"Watch it, weirdo," Rayanne yelled defensively and then realized it was Brian. "Sorry Krakow, thought you were a different weirdo."

"Oh, sure. Does this mean you're treating me like a person today?" he asked her skeptically.

"Maybe. Just don't do anything to piss me off," she told him. "Hey what went on up with you and Amber?" She asked after a moment.

"W-what? W-what do you mean?" he stuttered, suddenly full of shame and fear.

"She seemed really taken with you. She kept asking why I didn't have you over more, like you should be my best friend, or something," she elaborated as she narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously.

"I have no idea...maybe I'm just the guy version of Angela to her, or something," he told her randomly hoping it would appease her curiosity.

"You should be so lucky," she scoffed.

"So, I have your shirt," he said, trying to distract her and went to get it out of his bag.

"Just keep it for now," she said with a dismissive wave of her hand. She didn't need half of the school to see him handing her an article of clothing.

"Right. So do you know anything about Delia and Tino?" Brian asked nervously as they walked to his locker.

"No. Should I know something?" she asked him, unsure. "Never mind," he shrugged.

Angela arrived down the hall and was swept away by Jordan into one of his classic make-out sessions. Both Rayanne and Brian made a snort of derision and turned away.

"I just can't with that today," Rayanne pouted.

"I see Sharon got back together with Kyle...is that bothering you?" Brian asked with sincerity.

"Maybe. More because she gets so distracted...less because of what happened," she explained.

"But, like, a little because of what happened," Brian added sadly. He knew what it was like to lose out on a good thing.

"Shut up. We are not talking about it, okay," she said more than asked. "Understood," he agreed, putting his hands up defensively.

"Ugh and then there's those two," Rayanne whined as she looked over at Rickie and Corey laughing about something private.

"Really? Rickie didn't say anything about it," Brian asked obviously unsure.

"You can just tell. It's like it's mating season at Liberty and you an me are the rejects," she told him with a pat on the arm.

Just then Brian spotted Delia. She was heading towards them, which made Rayanne roll her eyes.

"Hey, you two," the girl greeted them.

"Hey," Brian said with a smile.

"So Fisher, did you keep your legs closed?" Rayanne asked suggestively.

"Rayanne!" Brian shot at the girl for being so crude.

"Yes I did, not that it's any of your business," Delia informed her quietly.

"You did?" Brian blurted without thinking.

"Yes. I've realized I'm not that kind of girl," she said with sad smile.

"I could have told you that," Rayanne said with another roll of her eyes.

"So, you already saw Tino?" the boy wanted to know.

"Yeah, but I think he's too fast for me," she replied with a tilt of her head.

"I think I did tell you that," Rayanne snarked with a laugh.

"Well, I'm just glad you did what was best for you," Brian added, ignoring Rayanne's remark.

"Me too. Hey Brian, you wanna walk with me to Social Studies?" Delia asked with a winning smile, showing off her dimples.

"Yeah, sure," said Brian as he quickly closed his locker.

The two walked off down the hall leaving Rayanne standing alone.

"And then there was one," she quipped to herself.

"Hey Graff, why the sad face?" asked Tino as he came up beside her.

"Because one really is the loneliest number," she sighed. He put his arm around her and kissed the top of the girl's braided head.

"Come on outside. I've got just the thing to cheer you up," he told her playfully.

"I can always count on you, Tino. You've always got my back," she said with a smile. "Huh, how 'bout that," he mused at the irony.

With that the two old friends took off out the main doors, not caring that the school day had just gone into session.
