Having been uprooted from the only country she'd ever known and moved to the other side of the Atlantic, Angie couldn't be more disgruntled with her life at the moment.
And of course, there's n...

I couldn't sit still.
My mind was racing, wishing I could be a fly on the walls of the Harding residence.
Today was the day Lori chose to tell Oliver about her relationship with Principal Shadid.
A mere three days after that dreaded office incident seemed soon, but if I (an idiot) can find out, it was only a matter of time before Oliver did.
And it wasn't right for Oliver to find out the way I did.
I knew that, technically, none of this was my business. Oliver and I were good friends but we don't spend our days sharing anecdotes about our family lives. Heck, I probably knew more about his family than he did about mine.
It seems hypocritical that I'd rather it stayed that way, but I couldn't bear it if Oliver's perception of me were to change if he found out my truth.
I cared for him, I liked him... a lot.
However, this aspect of his life isn't a bridge we've crossed. Should this leave him in some sort of emotional turmoil, I'm afraid that I wouldn't know how to help him.
It's a fair assumption that he'd internalize all of it and lock me out and that was nerve-racking.
This isn't something that should be swept under the rug. Lorelei and Principal Shadid were serious about each other and I could only imagine how the reality of that would affect Oliver.
I'd never force anything out of him but I'd want him to deal with this healthily.
On a superficial note, how would Oliver deal with a situation that couldn't be solved with an equation?
