"It's a rather long story," Neo said anxiously, not exactly wanting to explain. He shouldn't have freaked out in front of Morgan, and he should not have said her full name.
"Well," Morgan mimed looking at a watch, "By the looks of it we have all day."
It seemed that her sarcasm ability had only increased as the years passed.
"I-I guess we do. Erm...well, I don't know where to start."
"Start at the beginning," Morgan instructed.
"I guess the beginning is that I went to your school. That's pretty much it really," Neo decided to dodge the whole
'slight obsession' thing. That would probably creep her out quite a bit more than she already was.
Puzzled, she informed him that, "I don't remember seeing you around."
"I'm not surprised by that," Neo smiled lightly, "I wasn't exactly a social person.
Add that to the fact that I only stayed for about 2/3 of a year, there wouldn't have been much time for you to have seen me."
"I guess not....why did you leave after 2/3 of a year? Why not finish the year off before leaving."
"My dad got transferred," Neo answered quickly. Morgan's eyes narrowed.
"Don't give me that bull. For real, why?"
"Fine, alright? I was homeless, living by myself on the streets and I didn't want the cops coming for me." Neo sighed, defeated. He hadn't wanted to tell Morgan about his situation while he was at school.
"Wait were you that scrawny kid with black hair that used to sit in the corner of the art room at lunch and do a load of pencil sketchings?" There was a long silence and Morgan gasped, "You were, weren't you!"
Neo gulped slightly. His face had now turned beet red and there was no way that Morgan would fail to notice that. "Yep. That was me."
"You've changed a lot," Morgan looked him up and down.
"I sure hope so. I don't aspire to be a scrawny little kid." There was another second of silence before Morgan strolled over to give him a hug. Neo couldn't breathe it was so tight but he loved it. Then he paused. Yes, he may have been infatuated with her but what the hell was Morgan Lester doing in a place like this? Why wasn't she back at home doing art? Assuming, of course, that she was still interested in art.
"What are you doing here?" He asked when Morgan had finally released him. Morgan smiled sweetly. Seconds later, a response came.
"What are you doing here?" It sounded like Morgan's voice but it hadn't come from Morgan's mouth, it had come from behind him. Neo spun and saw that Morgan was there. Wait. He spun back. Morgan was also there.
"Hiya!" Both of them said in chorus. As a result of this sudden reveal, Neo promptly passed out, getting caught by one of the Morgans.
