"So what?" I said defensively, praying that he didn't notice my very red cheeks.
Race fumbled with his words for a moment before finally slumping down in his seat, "Never mind."
Right. We sat there for another moment of uncomfortable silence, before he got up and stormed out without even saying goodbye. Sour, who I can only imagine was watching from a distance, came over and sat next to me.
"So what was that all about?" she asked with an eyebrow raised.
"I dunno. Spot was saying that Race and me were blind because we couldn't see we were perfect for each other. Then Race got mad or something and left! I don't know why he'd be mad though!"
Sour looked at me like I was stupid, "Well why don't you ask him!"
"Good point," I said getting up to go find Race, "See ya Sour!" Sour waved and returned to the booth with Blink, Mush, and Jack.
I walked into the lodging house and started heading up to the bunkroom to see if Race was there. But I never made it past the front room. Amber was sitting on the couch, sobbing hysterically. Oh God, what now?! When she saw me, she stood up, trying to dry her bloodshot eyes.
"Chrys! I need to talk to you!"
"Whatcha need Amber?" I asked, trying to sound nice.
"Spot… Broke up… With… Me!" She said, bursting into tears once more, "I think it's because I'm too girly for him! I need you to help me become a tomboy!"
"It's not that," I said, not wanting to help this girl. "It's um… Well you see… I introduced Spot to my friend and they got along so well they started going together," I lied, "And er…. He didn't want to cheat on you, so he broke up with you." Not too bad of a lie, I guess, I thought to myself.
"Oh," Amber said with understanding, then suddenly pouting, "Is it cause she's prettier than me?"
Oh my God! Who cares! He dumped you! Get over it! "Umm… No?"
"She is! Isn't she?" She said weeping once again. My gosh, it was getting annoying.
"I have to go, Amber. Gotta make a living! Find a new boy for yourself. You can do better!" I encouraged, leaving before she could stop me once more.
From outside I could hear Amber talking to herself, "Maybe she's right. I can do better."
I smiled, thank God that's over. I couldn't go back to the lodging house to look for Race so I went to the next most likely spot he's be at, the races.
"Hey… uhh… Chrys?" I turned around. Who is it now?
"Umm… hi?" I said to a little boy, wondering how he knew my name.
"I'm Fruit. Member? You gave me money dat you stole from some rich guy?"
"Oh yea! How are ya kid?"
"I'm good. You?"
"I'm working on it."
"I didn't think I'd evah see ya again! But since I did, I want ta thank ya for the money," he said with a grateful smile.
"Shoa. Whatcha got in mine?"
"Lunch?" I really wanted to talk to Race, but I guess it could wait.
"Alright, Fruit. Let's go," I said, linking arms with him and heading off for lunch.
