MONDAY had certainly been a rough day for Greg, especially history, when he watched Jordan flirting with all those girls and had to pretend nothing had happened over the weekend. Before class had started, Jordan tried to come up and talk to him. But Greg wasn’t sure he wanted to hear anything Jordan had to say. He was confused and Rose was hurting, and it was all this boy’s fault.

It had hurt, ignoring Jordan that way. But at the same time it was easier than talking to him.

He was working his Monday night shift in the writing lab with Andrea, and even though she was quiet, he could sense the curiosity around her. He had tried to brush it off and focus on his mystery novel, but Andrea finally got fed up with him and walked up to his chair.

“What went on between you and that guy?” Andrea asked. “Did you actually end up going out for breakfast with him?”

“Yeah, I went. But I can’t say that things went all that well. You worked with Rose on Thursday, right?”

Andrea nodded and sat down on top of Greg’s desk. “As I do every Thursday.”

“Was she bitching about some guy that stood her up?”

“She sure was. Apparently, you even took her shift for her so that she could go on her date, but the guy never showed. What a creep.”

“That creep was the same guy who asked me out to breakfast. Jordan was the one who asked Rose out and stood her up.”

Andrea blinked in surprise and said, “Wow, he didn’t seem like the type of guy to do that sort of thing.”

“I wish I had known he was before we hooked up in the park.”

“Whoa, you did what?”

“Not all the way, but enough.”

Andrea let out a nervous little laugh, and said, “Rose would kill you if she found out about that.”

“She did find out. She pretty much walked… well, not in on us, but you get the idea.”

“Did she hit the roof?”

Greg shook his head. “No, but I was pretty pissed off. I still am! I can’t believe I went on a date with someone who would hurt one of my friends.”

“So are you ending things with him?”

“Ending? What started?”

Andrea rolled her eyes. “What are you going to do if he doesn’t want to let it end so suddenly? Some guys don’t take the breakup with that much aplomb.”

“He’ll just have to deal with it,” Greg grumbled.

Andrea was about to reply when a student walked in with a binder. “Um, excuse me? I have a lit paper started, but I’m really kind of lost on how to end it.”

“I’ll take care of you,” Andrea offered, going back over to her desk and patting the chair next to her.

A steady stream of students trickled in throughout the evening, finally slowing down about an hour after dark. Greg sent a sophomore who needed help with a sociology paper on her way, and finally got a chance to relax since there were no students waiting.
