I decided to bike to work the next day.

I just couldn't face Geoff...

I walked in to see Ray holding his arms up, as if in surrender, in the corner by his desk.

Then I saw Michael.

He was confronting Jack on the other side of the room, but stopped talking as I walked in.

"Gavin!" he shouted, and quickly came to hug me.

Jack and Ray looked over, and I realised just how shitty this day was going to be.

"Did you check Twitter last night?" Michael asked.

Ray lowered his arms, and I froze like a deer in headlights.

'What am I supposed to say now?'

"Uhh..." I said.

It was about a minute before I could actually speak.

"Um..." I stuttered, "Yeah."

Michael looked at Jack, hatred.

Pure hatred was in his eyes.

But he did nothing. He walked over and sat down at his desk.

Ray began to speak, but Michael but on his headphones and cranked up some music.

Well, isn't this going to be a pleasant day?
