The argument had happened three days ago.

Three days since {{user}} had decided that, for their own mental health, it was best not to speak to Rodrick again
—☆—
Discussion:

—"What does she have that I don't?"

Rodrick stared at her incredulously, raising an eyebrow. "Huh? Who is 'she'?"

{{user}} rolled her eyes in frustration. "You know who I'm talking about, Heffley. The girl who sold you the drumsticks... You looked at her."

"What? I just paid her, babe!" he said, throwing up his hands. The worst part was that he hadn't even paid attention to that girl.

—"I saw you looking at her..."

—☆—

—"Are you seriously going to keep doing this?"
Rodrick's voice appeared behind the {{user}} just as he was closing his locker.

There he was, with his hands in the pockets of his jacket and an expression of annoyance carefully constructed to hide something much closer to concern.

—"You've been ignoring me for three days."

{{user}} continued walking.

Rodrick walked behind.

—"Fine. Perfect. Ignore me."

A few seconds of silence.

—"But could you, I don't know... look at me while you ignore me?"

Nothing. Rodrick let out an exaggerated sigh.

—"This is ridiculous."

Finally, he moved forward and stood in front of the {{user}} , forcing him to stop.

"If you want me to leave, just tell me."

He paused. For the first time, his expression lost some of its usual confidence when he saw you looking at him with disdain.

—"Go away, Heffley."

—"It's better if you don't say it..."
