Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
Ex-Boyfriend?
Lance could only stare at Rikki. Nate was her ex-boyfriend? Who even was this Nate person? Which one of the guys in their class had he been?
Looking at Lewis, Lance inquired: "Have I met Nate?"
"We met him after the movie." Lewis answered. "You know, brown hair, green eyes…" A confused look appearing on his face, Lewis looked over at Cleo who shrugged, then at Emma.
Turning his attention to Emma, Lance got the answer: "He's… Got one of those faces!" When Lance raised an eyebrow, Emma turned to Rikki and said: "Rikki, you dated Nate! You describe him!"
Without missing a beat, Rikki answered: "He is a cheating jerk!"
Well, that answered what Nate did for him and Rikki to not be a couple. Lance didn't think anymore needed to be said. Thus, did he ask: "So, uh, back to the bit about his face?"
"He is a bit on the non-descript side." Cleo answered.
"That explains why I don't remember meeting him." Commented Lance.
"And I guess it was brief." Stated Lewis. "But at least you know someone else here at school."
A moment of silence passed as the lunch hour continued. Unsure of what to do, Lance looked back and forth between the others before returning to his sandwich as he thought about what he had learned. Rikki had an ex-boyfriend who had cheated on her… A non-descript looking guy… And he was reading the lines of Bois-Guilbert while she was reading the lines of Rebecca… That was an interesting turn, though he couldn't imagine this was something Rikki was happy about, but then again, it was class. It didn't mean anything.
