A couple hours later...
As I was leaving, just outside, thinking about "threading the needle" (which I aced, btw), Lance stopped me.
"Hey gorgeous." He jerked his head and pointed over his shoulder with his thumb. "I was just wondering if you want to go out on the town tonight with me and some of my friends. You know them. One of them is, Lance, I think? Anyway, you want to come?" I gaped at him in disgust.
"I don't go out with dirt bags like you, Roman. Especially ones who don't even know my name." I cocked my head and flicked my fingers sassily. "Sorry, not sorry." I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist.
"You so sure about that?" The look in his eye was so borderline evil it almost scared me, but just then I heard a familiar voice ring out from close behind me.
"If she doesn't want to go, Roman, that's her decision. Not yours." I turned to see Hunk, the beautiful giant, cracking his knuckles menacingly. Roman's eyes went wide as he released my arm. Without another word, we slunk back to the shadows he came from. I sighed.
"Thanks, Hunk, but doesn't he know you?" I asked, turning to wrap my arms as far around him as I could get them. As I pulled out of the hug, I glimpsed confusion in his expression.
"What do you mean?" I laughed.
"Doesn't he know you're the biggest sweetheart at school? You wouldn't hurt a fly." He smiled.
"Judging by the look on his face? He doesn't." I laughed again.
"Well, I better be getting back home. I mean, based on previous days, I don't even know if Keith has eaten anything today or not." Hunk's smile fell away.
"Yeah. Kristi?" He hesitated.
"Yeah?" I waited patiently for his answer.
"Are you okay?" He wrung his hands nervously. "Being alone with Keith a lot? He doesn't... he hasn't... tried anything?" I wrinkled my nose in mock disgust.
"Ew, Hunk, no. I'm fine." I slung my duffel over my shoulder and made my way to the parking lot. "Besides, he's like a brother to me." Hunk's smile returned.
"Okay then. Guess I'll see you tomorrow?" I nodded.
"Tomorrow."
