It was a common occurrence for Stu Macher and Billy Loomis to give him a hard time. They took great humor in picking on him it seemed, always finding something to give him grief over.

Maybe it was because he was regarded as a geek, or maybe they just held a vendetta against him. Either way, Randy never questioned it. Ever since they had become friends, it was a running theme for the three of them to be bickering.

Today was no different.

The lunch bell had already rung, and having been dismissed from class, Randy headed to the usual water fountain that they always sat at for lunch. Being the first one there, he got comfortable, watching as Billy and Stu grew near.

"Hey geek. Where's your little knight in shining armor?"

Stu's voice grated on his nerves already, knowing he was in for a ribbing about his horror movie obsession or his job, or some third thing.

Some third thing like you.

You had become a frequent topic of discussion among the three. Despite Randy and you being childhood friends, no one understood how you two were close. He was regarded as the loser that worked at the video store, and you were one of the most popular people at the school. You were on the cheerleading team, and were generally well liked. No one could see how you two had anything in common. It was a wonder that you stopped so many people from picking on him.

As the two continued teasing him, he rolled his eyes watching as you approached from the distance.
