Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
Lunchtime
When lunchtime came, all Lance could do was grab his sandwich from his locker and return to the group. Sitting across from Cleo, he stared at the web she had gotten made of what was very much more than a love triangle in regards to "Ivanhoe." Ivanhoe and Rowena were in love, Rebecca loved Ivanhoe and he may have loved her to some extent, Rowena was arranged to marry Athelstane, a Norman knight named either Hugh, Maurice or Eustace de Bracy was interested in Rowena and the Knight Templar Brian de Bois-Guilbert had his eye on Rebecca. Lance wished he knew more beyond the four adaptations he had seen, but the fact was he had not read the book prior to English class.
"And I thought soap operas were complicated." Commented Emma, staring at the web that Cleo had drawn.
Lance could only nod in agreement. He had never watched a soap opera, those had always been one of his aunt's areas of expertise, but he was pretty sure even a soap opera wouldn't be this complicated.
"Alright, so Lewis got Ivanhoe, Cleo got Rowena, Rikki got Rebecca, now I just have a few questions." Said Lance. "Who got Athelstane and de Bracy and who was the guy who got Bois-Guilbert?"
"I can't remember who got the other two, but we all know who got Bois-Guilbert." Stated Lewis, looking over at Rikki, her arms crossed and a less than pleased look on her countenance.
"Oh, yeah?" Lance asked before taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Nate." Commented Cleo, looking more than a little amused.
Lance didn't know who Nate was. Still chewing on his piece of sandwich, he looked at Rikki just as he swallowed. When she answered "My ex.", Lance nearly choked.
