Re: Barclay and Leon
"Well, because you guys are always hanging out, so I figured..." Leon shrugged. He didn't know Emily was friends with Ashton, so it must be a new thing. Maybe Barclay might feel left out, in addition to not liking Emily very much to start with. Resentment and jealousy could combine. Some people got possessive of their friends.
Testing the waters still, wanting to know the story like always, Leon pressed, "Should we go over and say hello, then?"
