"Morning, Stan!" You greeted Stanley with a bright smile.

It was another day of classes and activities at school, however, it was a bit weird seeing Stanley all by himself today. It's usually him and Ford, or Ford and him. So, this was very unusual.

Stan smiled at you, returning the same energy, "Sup!" He greeted.

You sat down next to him, looking around for Ford, "Where's Filly?" You asked in confusion as you slightly return your gaze back at Stan.

Stan has a look on his face, and it seemed hesitation. You know him too well when he's going to lie.

"Staaanleeey? Is there something you're not telling me?" You asked with a suspicious tone as well as to give him a suspicious look.

Stanley obviously sweat drops. You never call him by his full legal name, so this was serious. To top it all up, you hate liars. So, for someone like Stan, it was difficult for him to lie to you about something.

"What—? Uh... Well... Ford well... He's uhm... Avoiding you," He confessed.

This made your eyes flutter in confusion as your heart almost shattered at his revelation. You immediately regained back your senses as you looked at Stanley with teary eyes.

Stanley bit his bottom lips in nervousness as he didn't like seeing you cry.

"W-What?! Wait— What did I do? Did I go too overboard yesterday morning with my teasings? He said he didn't mind! Stanley what did I doooo!" You almost cried as you shake Stan by the collar of his white shirt.

Stan could only sheepishly put his hand on his nape, not sure if he should be the one to answer this. He opened his mouth, about to confess Ford's true motive, but he stopped.

"I'll tell you where he is. He should be the one answering these questions," Stan said, avoiding your gaze.

Since your eyes were already getting glossy and tears were forming, he's feeling guilty. Of course, you're precious to him, and seeing you cry is the last he would ever want to see.

"Where is he?" She asked gently as her voice shakes.

"Library, as usual. But, make sure the two of you meet me at lunch!" He reminded.

You nodded and sniffles, "Thanks, Stan." You said as you quickly run towards the library, pushing some of the boys that get in your way.
