"Nothin' much, Fish," Russ responded, "Might even head straight home, gotta work on this forensics report before Friday."  A blatant lie, and John probably knew it.  As Russell leaned into his locker, his voice quietened.<br/><br/>"Relax," Russ smiled, almost as if talking to himself, still sorting through his locker.  Not the tidiest guy on campus, naturally the books he needed were near the bottom.  "We've already voted on Mel, depending on how often she gets to her locker she could join in as early as tonight.  More likely a few days, though, she seems a bit shy.  As for others, Hannah Baker's been keeping an eye on me.  Here, sit in on my lecture, she'll be the brunette who can't take her eyes offa me.  Once you and Luci agree, I'll send her an invite during the lunch break.  We'll play it by ear if she goes for it."  At that, with a quick "gotta go", Russell procured his books and walked off to the lecture, not checking whether he was being followed.
