Crash smiled in return to her smile though he had noted there was something a little off...he raised an eyebrow at the darkness in her eyes. [i]Oh crap what’d I do now?[/i] His perplexed look had returned as he listened to what she said. “Invite my...companion?” He repeated, watching as her shoulders sagged, his forehead creased as if he were thinking. His eyes opening a little wider as he seemed to grasp what she meant. “That girl? Hell no, I’ve been trying to escape for 20 minutes, she talked so much crap it hurt my brain” Crash grumbled, guilt flickering across his expression as Kathy sighed deeply. “I hit her on the head with a basketball...at first she looked like she was going to slug me, then she kind of went weird...and touchy. I think she thought I was friends with Criston or Cyrus. She was the one hanging off of Cyrus’s arm yesterday” He explained, rubbing the back of his neck nervously as he felt that unfamiliar knot form in his stomach as another thought crossed his mind. [i]Why is she asking me this?[/i] “Are you bothered about it?” He asked her rather directly; a frown crossing his expression as he precariously balanced his chair on two legs. [i]What if she is...?[/i] Crash felt a bit of heat rise to his cheeks though it was barely noticeable, his smile widened unintentionally. “I’m holding up pretty good thanks” He smiled, his cheek looked only slightly bruised now, barely visible even and his lip was healed completely.

Crash glanced up at the fair haired student that approached the table, noting his nervous look. He smiled reassuringly at the new student, saluting as Kathy introduced herself and him. He didn’t speak in case he cut the student off, as they waited to hear his name. He smiled at Eric as he sat down across from Kathy. "Me? Since yesterday" He answered Eric's question with a grin. "I erm...yeah I get what you mean" Crash agreed though he was a little stiff when he shrugged adding a bright grin, noting the sadness in the guys eyes but didn't read to far into it. He grinned to himself as Eric seemed to be on a mission with eating his food, he held off asking anymore questions for a moment, giving Kathy a chance to answer and Eric time to eat.
