He couldn't quite believe what had just happened. The shock of the conversation between Biffy and him left Lee feeling off kilter. Things had taken an unexpected turn and Lee was having trouble focusing on anything else. Luckily he'd roamed the halls of E. Nimga High for over a year and a half that he had no problem navigating his way to his seat in homeroom, even if he had trouble recalling exactly how he'd gotten there.
He jumped when his vision was filled with sunny yellow hair and an equally bright smile. "Oh, did some of the good happen to Friend Lee? Your face is red, like you forgot to put on the sunscreen." Holger gasped in horror at the thought. "Did you forget the sunscreen? Is okay. You may borrow mine!" he offered, holding out his bottle of tanning lotion.
"Thanks buddy, but I'm fine." Lee insisted.
"Okay, it is your skin." Holger frowned a little at Lee's rejection but soon his smile was back in place. He focused on the opened bottle of lotion in his hand, slathering it over his face and shoulders.
"It's not sunburn." Lee clarified.
"Then what is it?" Cam cut in. He hunkered down in his parka and whispered out the corner of his mouth. The last thing he wanted was to get detention for talking during attendance. "I meant did something good happen? 'Cuz you're smiling. Like a lot."
"I am?" Lee's grin grew wider.
"Yeah, homes. It's sorta freakin' me out." Cam shielded his eyes with the back of his hands. "You better stop before your face gets stuck like that and I can't hang around you no more."
Lee laughed. "I suppose there are worse faces to make. I mean I could get stuck with yours."
"Oh, and he's back," Cam waved his hand like he had touched something hot and was trying to cool off. "Who needs the sun with a burn like that? Nice one, hermano."
"I get lucky every now and then." Lee nodded relieved to have diverted Cam's questioning look. He didn't think he could handle such more speculation from his friends before he broke down and spilled the beans about his odd encounter with Biffy. He supposed this was the kind of thing he ought to share with him crew, but as he watched Cam fight off Holger's attempts to rub the excess lotion on him, Lee couldn't bring himself to say anything. Where would he even begin? The last time he tried to tell them how friendly he and Biffy were it had backfired, horribly. How could he possibly explain how there may be something more to their friendship? He barely understood it himself. So Lee remained quiet, silently promising to tell them everything once he knew where it was all going.
There was a tug on his navel as if someone had tied an invisible string around him stomach. It went taut when his thoughts shifted to his impending weekend at the Goldstein's. Wear something durable. Biffy's words echoed in his memory. What in the world is that guy thinking? He had no clue what Biffy's motives were, heck he wasn't even know what his own motives were. But the one thing he was sure of it was his eagerness to find out.
