"Huh?" Rick let out a surprised noise, staring at the text message he received.
"Hum? What happened?" noticing him, Yvette asked.
"N-no, nothing. It's just a text message from someone I know." Rick let out an awkward laugh at her, trying to avoid further questions. "It's just, it was pretty unexpected, from the guy." His eyes hovered over the text, while his mind tried to process this. "No hindrances this time, huh? Strangely you are playing along." Since Irvyn decided not to be a thorn in his way, Rick decided to strike the iron while it was hot.
"Teacher, I have something to tell you. Will you be able to hear me out?"
Yvette was fiddling with her phone in hand, scrolling through different fashion forum sites online. Hearing Rick, her fingers stopped in the middle of it. She looked up at him, and found a strange seriousness in his expression. "Right now?"
Rick replied to her with a nod.
