"Hi Rufus," Carla said, walking over to the empty table he was sitting on. Rufus raised his head, his face stained with tears.
"Oh, hey Carla," he replied forlornly, "You alright?"
"No, not really," Carla shook her head, "You?"
"Nope." He gestured for her to sit down and poured them both a cup of water. Perhaps a drink would drown their sorrows.
"What's wrong with you then?" He asked, though he couldn't care much less.
Carla paused. Should she blurt out her feelings to this person whom she barely knew, except from class? "Guess" seemed a safe response.
"Alright," he replied, "How about falling in love with someone, only for them to break your heart and go out with someone else?" He was really describing his own problem here, as he was still going through his ordeal of unrequited love. However, he couldn't of been closer to the truth, for Carla's response was "Yeah, pretty much."
There was a moment of silence between the two teens, as they understood each other's situations. In many ways, they were very different people; Carla was a pretty, popular girl, while Rufus was nerdy, and a nervous wreck. But in this way they connected, and there was something comforting about that.
"So, who are you falling for then?" Rufus asked her, as downed their "shot" of H²O.
"Rob, but he's going out with Lilly," she sighed. "What about you?"
Carla was one of the few people in the year that were oblivious to Rufus' longstanding crush on Martha, since they were merely acquaintances.
"Martha, but she's with Ollie," he answered sadly.
"Wait, Ollie and Martha are going out?!" She inquired in disbelief. "I thought they were just close friends."
"Yeah, they are. I overheard them a few minutes ago," he explained.
Carla thought for a moment, as a plan started forming in her mind.
"I have an idea," she announced.
"Go on." Rufus was intrigued.
"I say we team up against them, put them back in their places, and finally get what we deserve," Carla proposed, "If you know what I mean."
A mischievous smile spread across Rufus' face.
"What did you have in mind?" He smirked.
