"I don't know. We don't usually eat with the rest of you." Edward deliberately put Jon and himself apart from everyone else here, because that was what it felt like anyway. Them with the world against them. Not that he thought most people cared or knew them, but apathy and ignorance never improved matters either. "But Jon's right, if you started moving around, you might confuse a lot of people. There's structure to any system, a school is no expection."

"I think that's pretty dumb, personally. Next semester will be different, I think." Cause he'd try to switch it up then. It was too late now but maybe next time. They were entering high school, after all. Time to make a change. As they got to the library, Harvey turned around and smiled at them, waving. "I gotta go but this was fun." Kinda. "Have fun at the library."

And then he was leaving. Actually leaving. Like, you know, walking away. Jonathan frowned. It wasn't a trap... what the hell? "Why did he do that, Edward? I don't get it."

"I don't know." Well, he did know. Kind of. It was still a little weird, so it was difficult to entirely wrap his mind around it. "He likes me. We've talked." That wasn't a lie, all things considered. He could have said that Harvey owed him, but he wasn't certain whether Harvey saw it that way and he didn't want to explain to Jonathan why he owed him, so this seemed like the safer statement. "I'm very likeable, you know?"

"Oh yes, everyone just adores you, Eddie." Rolling his eyes, Jonathan pushed Edward into the library and shook his head. "I will never understand you and the things you do." He talked to so many people, made so many friends and even more enemies. Honestly, if he was more likable, the ratio could easily shift to him being more popular. Jonathan liked that he wasn't, he liked that Edward was his. He didn't want anyone else taking him. "Just don't get sucked into Dent's world. It's better on the outside."
