He took a deep breath, turning to me. Him: Sorry about that.
Me (chuckling): Don’t worry, I get it all the time. Not for the same reason… but I’m used to it.
He didn’t look convinced. Him: So… about the store? I can get the directions to you 6th hour?
Me: Sure.

Later
True to his word, Drew took it slow for two weeks, not even broaching the subject. I’d found out about Ulyssa (called LyssAH [with a huge emphasis on the last syllable]). She’d come up to me with a kind expression, beginning with the normal before hitting what was obviously the entire point of the conversation to her:The fact that Drew was a terrible guy who’d made her do things she’d never wanted to do, and how sorry (yeah right)she was to have to inform me my seeming knight in shining armor wasn’t so great. I smiled my favorite vague smile and moved on.
For the most part though, people seemed to like Drew. Particularly Amelia, who never seemed to give up.
He was coming over today to watch Romeo and Juliet with me for English.
