[ Robbie can't believe he's starting to consider this, but this is really far to take a bad joke. Maybe it's Robbie himself, going full on crazy?

Nah, hallucinations aren't his thing. Being a dick was occasionally Rich's thing though, even if they never talk about it because he's supposedly matured.

I don't know why he'd lie about me and Vance - that doesn't make sense at all - but say I believe you about the ditching. Rich... Ugh, please don't take this personally because he's done it to all his friends at some point, even Nita.

[ Robbie refuses to feel sorry about telling Grif this. One way or another, Rich told Grif about a very private conversation and basically invited prying gossip. ]

But sometimes Rich gets it in his head that he's too cool for school, and he bails. If you watched that stupid show, you saw him do a little version of it. It's always been when his life is a mess, so I don't know if this is that. He's... dead, back home... And Nita got sent home, and now two of his friends aren't really talking...

I could get why he'd do a stressed-out disappearing act, but I can't get past the lie. Rich is honest - too honest. He's blunt, and he's never figured out how to soften the blow before he puts his foot in his mouth. But lying? It's not in him. Blue blazes, he can barely curse.
