Re: Eric & Penny
"They were jerks? Except for a couple of exceptions, I don't have the best luck with boyfriends." Leonard was actually the only decent one in recent memory. "Well, maybe if things change we can keep that in mind." It couldn't hurt to keep a positive attitude about things. "But if we do get back to LA, I'll definitely take you up on it."
She laughed, thinking that Eric was a different sort of nerd than she was used to. One who liked both computers and cool things like surfing. "I assume you learned how they worked then? By taking things apart?"
Her eyes widened when he mentioned he'd been expelled. "That sounds like a story you should tell me. Expelled from school, how rebellious."
