Ah well. He doesn't have the legs for it, anyway. So we... talked.

... and talked...

... and talked some more.

He really is a great guy. Even if he is a goober! So, apparently, it was just a guy thing -- and boys try to make it seem like we're the gossip-y ones -- and he has found out where the rumors started. He wouldn't tell me, but I think I won't have to worry anymore.

The downside is that whole... "Goober's Girl" thing. But... I can live with it. He pointed out that it's better than him being known as something else (Courtney's C...). Which would imply exactly what we didn't WANT to imply!

So, at lunch today, it was the normal group of us again. Matthew reached over and held my hand, and Jennifer just game me this smug look. Oooh. If she weren't my best friend, I'd smack her! Yes, yes, she was right. Shut up, you're just a book -- you'll burn if I want you to.

Tonight after school was the first practice for the Aca-Deca, and whoever does best on the practice test we took on each grade level will be the "starter" for the Quiz Bowl rounds (where you buzz in and answer the questions asked), and the other will be the alternate. The best score overall gets to be Captain for both the Quiz Bowl and the test rounds!
