When Ace arrived home, Leland was out. He’d left a note saying he and Leland went to the library to study. It was just as well, he was still in a state of disbelief about the Music store owner being Beck’s doppelganger. First the camera being found that had been missing, and now today’s events. He made his way up the stairs. He needed a shower, maybe that would help him get his act together and lose the anxiety.
Friday, the following day at Nordhaven Academy...
"So, Leland, what do you think your uncle is getting you for your birthday." Lance asks him looking up from the book regarding the history of Sims County
"I'd hope a car, but I doubt that will happen. Not that I need one. I have my bike and Nordhaven isn't all that big. I'm not sure .He shrugged and continued.
"Bet you five bucks it’s another video game," Lance muttered, flipping a page of the county history book without looking up. The library’s fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, casting sharp shadows across the unevenly shelved books.
"You already have almost everyone ever made." Lance laughed "Could I ask you a serious question?"
"My birthday gift was a serious question, but yeah go ahead, what's the question?" Never looking up from the book.
"Don't be mad, and answer how you really feel, I will not be upset either why."
"Whoa, this must be serious, okay..."
"Prom is coming and we have to ask a date. There are plenty of girls at Nordhaven Girl's Prep School and seeing how I'm probably the only gay man at Nordhaven Boys, I honestly don’t want to take a girl. Do you think it would be wrong of me to ask a guy?" He seen Leland put down the book and look at him.
"Well, I understand, but is there a gay guy that you’d want to ask? " Lance looks somewhat disappointed
