Alex had noticed that Sofia had just admitted that she had rarely gone to the games during the previous year, but that really didn't matter to him. For one thing, it was too late for him to make a fuss about it, and for another he hadn't paid any attention to Sofia prior to this school year, and so he had no reason to complain if she hadn't paid attention to him. It was true that she was attending the games this year, but the band was usually at the games, and so Alex should assume that she was there just for him. It was a nice thing to think about, though. "It was not one of my better moments," Alex went on to say, "I have heard that people can say strange things while on strong medications, like pain killers. Speaking of which, I believe it's time for me to get another dose."

Asking for his next dose of pain pills at this particular moment had been a calculated move on Alex's part because now he knew where Sofia had put the bottle. On the down side, she had been wise enough to put the bottle high up in the cupboard, where it will take standing on a chair to reach it. It will be very difficult, if not impossible, for him to get up on a chair while he was still wearing the brace on his leg and walking with crutches.There was a very good chance that if he tried it, he would fall and mess up his good leg. Turning his attention to what Sofia had said, he replied, "Well, I think that you have every reason in the world to make a big deal out of it. That kind of thing just shouldn't happen, and I'm sure that Debra will agree with me. You should have told one of the school's faculty about what had happened." In spite of that bit of advice, Alex knew that Sofia wouldn't have done that, and if she had, she would be labeling herself as a snitch. That would be enough of a deterrent to keep anyone from reporting the harassment. Alex then went on to say, "The one thing that doesn't surprise me is that Helen and Brandy were working together. I wonder how long it will take Brandy to figure out that Helen is not someone whom she can manipulate or control." This was a good example of how things had been changing since Alex and Sofia had become husband and wife. Even a few months ago, Alex wouldn't have cared if Sofia had gotten jumped in the bathroom. While he certainly wouldn't have taken part in such a thing, he would have found it to be amusing. As the old saying goes, though, that was then and this is now.

Thanks to the fact that Alex hadn't showered yet that day, he was waiting for Sofia to finish so that he could take his turn, and so he was well aware of how long she was taking. Not that it bothered him. She probably had a lot on her mind and was still worried about Bo. In that case, she could take as long as she wanted. They had plenty of money to pay the utilities, and the water bill was a part of the apartment rent anyway. As he waited, Alex tried to think of a way that he could help Sofia without causing her more problems. After a while, it occurred to him that perhaps he could take to the school's faculty about starting a campaign against bullying in general. That seemed to be in vouge these days, and Sofia would benefit from it without being singled out. At least Alex hoped that it would help her. Besides, she probably wasn't the only one who was being bullied at their school. Just take a look at the run-in between Cynthia and Brandy at lunch that day. Most likely Debra had been bullied in the past because of her personal preferences, but that seemed to be something that she thrived on, as witnessed by her proclaimed desire to become the most hated girl in their school. It seemed to Alex that his campaign would be more effective if he got the support of some of the more prominent and popular students in the school. Penelope was the first name to come to mind. While she didn't exactly like Sofia, she didn't really have a reason to hate Sofia either. Surely Penelope would be willing to take a stand against bullying, regardless of who it was about.

Naturally enough, Alex noticed when Sofia had begun to pace, but he really didn't know why she didn't want to look at him, aside from her natural shyness. While he wasn't an exhibitionist, he really wouldn't mind it if she chose to watch him while he showered. It was an ego thing. In order to fill the silence, he decided to talk a little about his childhood, and since Bo was on both of their minds, he picked that as his topic. "When I was about six years old, I decided that I wanted a dog," Alex stated, "When I told my parents that, they said that taking care of a dog was a big responsibility and that they weren't certain that I was ready for it. Obviously they didn't want to get stuck with taking care of my dog for me. They probably wanted to teach me about responsibility as well. They made a deal with me. First, they would get me a hamster, and if I did a good job of taking care of the hamster for an entire year, they would get me a rabbit, and if I took care of the rabbit for an entire year, then they would consider getting a dog for me."
After a brief pause, Alex continued, "My parents bought me a hamster that I named Roger. I don't remember why I chose that name. Roger was pretty easy to take care of. All that I had to do was make sure that there was enough food and water, and change the litter at the bottom of the cage on a regular basis. One of my first grade classmates had a hamster named Ben. One day we decided that our two hamsters would have fun playing together. That was before I learned that hamsters are solitary animals that usually don't get along with other hamsters, unless they grow up together. Fortunately Roger and Ben seemed to get along well. That was how I discovered that Roger was a girl. Have you seen baby hamsters? I didn't know that babies could be that small. Anyway, after I had changed Roger's name to Rogette and took care of her for an entire year, my parents bought me a rabbit. This time I made sure that I got a boy. I named him George after a Bugs Bunny cartoon that I really like. Taking care of George was a lot like taking care of Rogette, except that George was bigger and ate more." While one might think that there was more to Alex's story, for some reason he did not continue right away.
((OOC: Bugs Bunny rules! I will name him George!))
