"No, it's fine, really! If you're hungry or thirsty just let me know. Please," Skylar insisted.

Revil shook his head and waved his hands. “I’m fine. Really.”

"All right… If you're sure… Just let me know, though, okay?" Skylar asked.

Revil smiled. “Of course.” He knew he wouldn’t bother her about his growling stomach.

Skylar nodded again. "Good, good… So, how'd you get soaked this time?"

Don't lie about the lake this time…

“Just…” He shrugged. “I am that clumsy oaf we know and love.”

"So you just, like, fell into a lake or something?" Skylar guessed, managing to keep the disbelief from her face and voice.

Revil gave himself a grimace. “Yep. You know it.”

"All right. Definitely clumsy," Skylar said with a forced chuckle.

Revil gave a slight grin. He could tell she knew he was lying. Just by the look on her face.
Does she know?

He cannot be Rush. We're enemies, but… Revil is my friend…

"So, how have you been lately?" Skylar asked, keeping the smile on her face.

Revil smiled a bit. “I’m ah… fine. How are you?”

"I'm actually doing really well," Skylar said with a genuine smile. "How has work been?"

“That’s good. Work’s been… something.” He sighed.

Skylar hummed and nodded. "Well, I suppose that's one way to put it… Hey, I don't think I remember ever actually knowing what you do."

“I work at a school down the road,” Revil told her truthfully.

"Oh, really? What do you do?" Skylar asked, her smile turning genuine once more.

“I teach Chemistry.” He smiled back.

"That's really cool! I didn't know you liked Chemistry. What grade?" Skylar wondered.

Revil tilted his head. “I like doing seinors, but I’ll teach any.”

"Oh, I bet the senior girls are just all over you, huh?" Skylar giggled. She blushed deeply when she realized what she'd said, and her eyes widened slightly. "I mean, because you're young and stuff. Not that you aren't attractive. You totally are. I mean– Um… Uh…"

With each word she stumbled out, the redder her face grew.

Revil paused when she spoke, wishing she hadn’t said it at all. Yes, he did get questions, but he also got after school meetings that had… different intentions for him.
“N-no, I get it. It’s okay.” He smiled a bit.

“Sorry,” Skylar squeaked out. “I, um— In going to go get a glass of water. I’ll be right back.”

Revil nodded and smiled a bit. “You do that.”

Skylar hurried into the kitchen, where he wouldn’t be able to see her, and she filled a glass with water. With a sigh, she drank it in about three sips.

Why hadn’t he said anything about what she’d said? She’d literally just called him attractive to his face and he didn’t even react. Maybe he hadn’t realized what she’d meant? That would be good, right?
