Well fuck.

This was the most awkward situation I’ve been in and I didn’t even know why. I could sense the tension between the two as Leo’s words hung in the air between the three of us. Goddess, you could cut the tension with a knife.

The silence was stretching out and filling the hallway. As I stared at Odis, a blanket of guilt covered me and started to make its way down to my center. I tried to shake off the feeling, I had no reason to feel guilty. Odis was glaring at Leo and Leo was glaring right back.

“I had to wake you up the other day, I wouldn’t have pegged you for an early bird,” Odis said. He was focused on me and completely ignored Leo’s greeting. I had to hold back the urge to laugh when Leo mumbled ‘rude’ under his breath.

“I didn’t know we knew each other that well,” I said. Was I being a little mean? Yes, but I was feeling a little bratty this morning. I wanted out of this situation.
