I get my lunch tray and sit down next to Jessie. "Hey," I say.
"Hey."
"Okay, spill. Why weren't you here yesterday?" Nikki asks. Jessie smiles and eats a piece of broccoli.
"We were at the hospital. Michael woke up," I explained.
"Really?" Lindsay says, giving me a hug.
"Did you guys explain, you know, why his mom wasn't there?" Nikki asks.
"Yeah," says Jessie.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't be," I say. "He was bound to find out sometime."
"I guess. So, anything new with anyone?"
"There's a guy in my math class," Lindsay says, taking a bite of her lasagna.
"Ooh, deets. Go," Nicki says.
"Not much. His name is Ryan. He likes animals. That's really it."
"Scale of one to ten?" Jessie pries.
"Eh, 'bout a six."
"Oh, so not that much," Nikki says. "Anyone else?"
"Nope."
"Oh, well."
