Lorenzo suddenly feels that he can breathe again after Becca's answer. He leans forward and puts his hands out on the table - close to Becca's but not touching, letting her make the decision.

"Yeah, the parents thing was too early I thought, too. But, I was ready to try it, if necessary, just for the chance to go out with you again," Lorenzo explained.

"If there's too much fuss, we could double date. I'm sure that there's someone you could think of to double with, if we need to . . ." Lorenzo paused as Luke stormed through the cafeteria, snapping Lorenzo out of Becca's world, briefly.

" . . . but probably not with Luke." Lorenzo said with a smile. He looked over his shoulder to see what the commotion was about he vaguely remembered hearing while talking with Becca.

For Stacy's information, Luke says "Tell Chris he can take her out!" as he passes her, but he doesn't leave a chance to respond.

Oh, no, what have I done? She is going to hate Chris for this, and its all my fault. If I hadn't asked.... I need to tell her its all my fault, and not his, she dislikes him enough as it is.

Kate leaned towards Stacy and spoke up while Jason gathered his things to leave. "That jerkwad tried to hit on her. Stupid prick. Those guys are too dumb for Lana."

Stacy dabs at her eye sorrowfully. "That wasn't very nice kate." she says half-heartedly. "I'm sure they aren't all stupid. I'm really sorry for all this." she apologizes on Lana's behalf. Noticing Jason leaving she feels guilty about causing the scene that made him leave. so she puts her hand on his shoulder to stop him from going. "You don't have to leave if you don't want to. If you want you can even eat with us at or table, I'm sure there is room." she says giving him friendly smile.

" . . . but probably not with Luke." Lorenzo said with a smile. He looked over his shoulder to see what the commotion was about he vaguely remembered hearing while talking with Becca.

"Definitely," Becca agreed, peering around Lorenzo to see what was going on as well. They could see Stacy go over to her sister's table, and then Lana got up and left a moment later.

"Anyway," Becca went on, "we'll just have to figure it out when you ask me somewhere else," she decided, raising a delicately shaped auburn brow in an unvoiced question.

Kate shrugged. "It's not your fault Luke can't handle rejection," she pointed out before turning back to her lunch.

Jason, meanwhile, was pushing the limits of the shades the human body could naturally assume. He looked about ready to fall right out of his own skin at the notion of sitting at Stacy's table. "...ummmm...no, that's okay...I'm done...uh...I need to go get my book," he explained nervously, trying to get away without falling, dropping something, or knocking into someone.

I'm a hazard to myself

Lana walked along the hallway, stopping only briefly to stuff her books into her locker before heading off to the music room. It always made her feel better to practice guitar or violin when she was upset, and how much more could she be upset now after that lunch debacle.

Don't let me get me

At least during lunch the music room would be relatively empty, and it had a great window seat where she could sit and be gloomy for a while longer yet before rejoining society.

I'm my own worst enemy

Lorenzo, never needing to get hit with a pile of bricks more than once a few seconds, follows through with the implied question (only with voice this time).

"Soooo, I know you'll be at the game after school," Lorenzo said looking at appreciably at her outfit. "What are you doing after that? I'll most likely be at the game - have to show support for the team and their beautiful cheerleaders."

"Perhaps when you're done with the game we could sneak away for a late bite to eat and get you home, none the wiser?" Lorenzo asked with a smile.

"Oh, ok, are you sure you don't want to? You guys too Mike, Kate, feel free to join us. Do you want to all sit with us tomorrow? I would really like it." The newest cheer-girl says.

"Well, I'll see you guys later. I think I need to talk to someone. Byebye." she says waving before going back to join her friends at the popular table.

"Perhaps when you're done with the game we could sneak away for a late bite to eat and get you home, none the wiser?" Lorenzo asked with a smile.

"Hmm...I don't know," Becca teased with a smile. "You're sweet, and it sounds nice, but..." She tapped her pink lips, tinged with a hint of glitter, thoughtfully. "Where would you take me?"

"Are you okay, Stace?" Julie wondered with concern as Stacy returned to the table.

"Yeah, is everything okay?" Melissa added, an unhappy look on her face. "Luke is really harsh. I heard he slapped Lindsey Harrington on their date last week," she added in a very hushed tone, glancing at the other girls for any confirmation, and receiving a handful of nods.

"A girl needs some surprises in her life, don't ya think?" Lorenzo said with a sly wink. "Like I said, I'll be at the game. You can let me know then, if you're uncertain now."

Lorenzo will listen to Becca for a few minutes more then start gathering his lunch up and cleaning the area. "I'd better go see if there's been a tragedy, elsewhere, before the final classes. See you tonite, then?"
