I'll pay for it. [2/2]

Ignoring my former classmates, I followed Tildi as she led me to the eastern vista. It was a small place outside the main restaurant. Rustler's Rooste was a well-known streak house in Arizona. Its main attraction was the beautiful scenery overlooking it.

Because of the commotion at the door, people generally saw me in a better light. Harry, by contrast, was considered a fool. When I was at school, it was the opposite. 

Outside of Harry and Caroline, I hardly interacted with anyone. I was known as Caroline's boyfriend. Since she was the belle of the campus, the attention she got naturally rubbed off on me. 

A lot of guys came up to me and asked me to break up with her. I fought with most of them, so being with her naturally had its own problems. Most of the class was nice and Caroline was warm and friendly to everyone.
