Alfie nodded. He knew face sounded cooler, but if he'd gone ahead and said that, he would probably still be in detention or doing some sort of community service during winter break. And his winter break hadn't been all that great as it was. "Would have said that but already got detention for defending myself, and I really don't want to get yelled at again for missing soccer practice."
Alfie sighed as he glanced down at the application. He didn't remember it being this long, though he probably felt that way because Natalie was distracting him. He didn't mind though. Natalie was nice enough even if she was Evan's. "Nope," he said shortly. It wasn't that he wanted to be rude to Natalie. It was just hard to talk about it, especially to Laney's sister. "I dunno. I guess I've just been bummed out since then."
