"How do you even remember that?" Chrissy asks, brow furrowing a little as she lets out a laugh, followed by a nod. "Yeah, we went out for about half a second when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore." After that, they still ran in the same circles for a while, especially with Steve on the basketball team and her on the cheerleading squad, but that died off eventually, too. There were no hard feelings there or anything, they just went in different directions. By the time she started going out with Jason, that was probably for the best, anyway. She doesn't think he would have liked at all to see her hanging out with an ex.

He would have liked this even less, she thinks, only to forcibly push that thought aside. Jason isn't here, and she has no reason to care now what he would think about her being friends with Eddie. If anything, she cares more about what Eddie thinks. There's no reason why her dating history should matter, but she puts it down to old habit. She's always had someone she didn't want to judge her too harshly. "We weren't really a good fit. But I guess we're friends now, and that's pretty nice."
