( STRAY KIDS! )
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT.
❛ hopeless ❜
HE DOES EVENTUALLY give her happy's number. it's the best he can do. besides, he knows how much the chauffeur enjoys being disturbed by teenagers.
happy rings him up one afternoon to sound his grievances.
"tell your girlfriend to stop calling me! she's worse than TMZ." peter smiles stupidly.
"did you hear me, kid?"
he hadn't. he's thinking about "girlfriend"
✷
MR. HARRINGTON has noticed how peter often sits next to eli during meetups. at first he thought peter was just trying to be nice to the new comer, but now he's not so sure. he's caught a smile or two between them. he's seen how eli passes him the cards with something akin to a private joke.
as a rule, romance between decathlon members is discouraged. he's seen it happen in past generations and it often complicates things.
competitive sciences and relationships don't mix that well. but the one time he suggests someone else ought to partner up with eli, he gets two mutinous glares from the lovebirds. and that's that.
ned leeds offers him a sympathetic head–shake and mouths, "it's hopeless."
