[Monday, Lesson 5 - L4L]Back in good old L4L and it was my turn for the topic, or at least it would be if some love-struck idiot didn"t abandon us and leave our table to talk to the new girl. I think we shall have to call him Judas from now on.
"So I guess it"s just us today, Sean."
"It"s kinda upsetting to see him move on, you know they say you lose a few friendships when you get in a relationship."
The words that just came out of Sean"s mouth shocked me, never in the 5 years, I"ve known him have I ever heard him say something that smart. Maybe he is really hiding something from us.
"I think we should hold off on the usual discussion for today. The fourth rule states that all members must be present."
As upsetting as it was, we had to hold off. Ethan had moved to Kaylee"s table and was talking up a storm.
I guess he still doesn"t know.
"What"s the matter, you two idiots seem down." Ruby walked over to us and sat down in Ethan"s chair. Filling the empty void within our hearts and reviving us from this curse caused by a guy in love.
"I don"t know what to do about Ethan," I replied.
"Hmm…. it"s definitely an issue if he keeps going on like this. But, you guys are really close and you"ve all been through a lot together, I"m sure you"ll all comfort him when the time comes. If I was you I"d let things work on their own. No point trying to force it."
Ruby was right, we should leave him alone. We"ll just have to be there supporting him from the shadows.
"You know, I never knew you could say something so smart. Maybe you do have a heart."
"EH? What are you saying? I can"t hear you cause your head is so far up your own a.r.s.e."
"Sorry? What were you saying? Sean, do you hear the sound of a blood haired idiot?"
"HAHA, you two are just like a married couple. Why aren"t you two dating already?" Sean added.
I take back what I said about Sean being smart, he"s an idiot. Looks like they are both Judas. What is the plural of Judas? Judai?
"HA! LIKE I WOULD EVER MARRY THIS d.i.c.k." Ruby proclaimed.
"I wouldn"t want to marry Ruby, I"d rather marry you Sean then marry her."
"Aw thanks, man."
"Whatever, I"ll leave you now. idiot."
"Wait, why did you come over here in the first place? Was it to see Owen?"
That"s right, you tell her Sean! I knew you were smart, I"ve been rooting for you all along. You ain"t no betrayer in my eyes!
"Yeah Right! I just wanted to talk about Ethan that"s all."

Lesson 6 ended with nothing interesting happening. Sean ran off to football practice and Kaylee had to stay behind for a bit to talk to the teacher about everything she missed in lessons up till now. Ethan was going to wait for her but she didn"t want him to.
Which is why we are now waiting for her by the school gate where she will have to walk past us to leave.
"Dude, why are we waiting. She said she didn"t want you to wait. It"s too cold to be standing outside like this. I"m going to freeze to death before I see you two get together."
"Of course she said that she is very kind and considerate." Ethan"s face lit up with a smile whenever he talked about her. I guess he really does care for her.
"You don"t have to wait with me you know, you can go home yourself."
He probably wanted it to just be the two of them, but, I didn"t want to leave him alone.
"Nah, it"s fine I"ll wait with you, you"ll be lonely by yourself."
We were standing outside for a few minutes, people were still pa.s.sing by us leaving to go home. By the time Kaylee had left the building, it was practically empty by the gate, with the exception of the few stragglers that had detention and were just leaving.
As she started to get closer to the gate Ethan slowly walked up to her whilst I stood back and watched. Kaylee carefully walked towards the gate, not even acknowledging we were in front of her.
"Kaylee!" Suddenly a voice called out from beyond the gate.
Ethan quickly turned around to look for the voice calling her. A teenager with short dark green hair stood there with a smile that looked as if it belonged to the happiest man in the world.
"SIMON!" Kaylee cried out as she ran past us; hitting us with a sharp cold burst of wind as she landed into the stranger"s arms.
He was wearing casual clothes that suited him really well, he seemed more mature compared to us as he held her in his arms. He didn"t look like he belonged in our year.
They both stood there hugging for what felt like ages. All Ethan could do was watch, he wanted to look away but couldn"t, he knew very well what just happened and was struggling to accept it.
"I"m sorry Ethan. I heard from Ruby about him. I didn"t know if I should have told you or not."
Ethan didn"t reply.
We both stood there silently as we watched them walk off hand in hand smiling happily at each other.
"Hey, Owen?" Ethan"s voice was in pain, trapped inside himself wanting to cry.
"Yeah?"
"Do… Do you wanna go get something to eat?"
I couldn"t see Ethan"s face but I didn"t need to, I didn"t want to see what kind of face he was making.
"Sure thing buddy. Come on, I"ll buy you something."
