Alone with Rize in her Office

"I know you are going out with Alice."

"Who… told you that?" Rudy asked with a judging look on his face.

"I did."

"..."

"You two are always together. You come to school together, leave school together, and are together all the time. Even a stupid would realize what's going on," she stated.

"It's not nice to judge someone like that, miss," Rudy remarked quietly. "Alice and I are childhood friends, and it's normal for childhood friends to be that close."

Rise raised her brow and folded her arms below her bosom. She stared at him and asked, "You are also childhood friends with Eric. I don't see you coming with him to school, like ever."

"Okay. First of all, Eric's house is not on the way to school, and he comes in the car. Alice's house is on the way, so I pick her up. And obviously, if the school has ended and we are going home, we both go the same way, so it's completely natural for us to go home together.
