okay I have two theories that could also play into each other:
1st Cory keeps thinking about his night with naveed which makes him curious about his sexuality so he tries to sleep with another guy cue nas and naveed looking shocked ate him. this leads to naveed being upset bc cory has no problems being with guys that aren’t him so he decides to stay away from cory cue the cafeteria scene
2nd naveed starts seeing someone, cory gets jealous and somehow tries to break them apart, naveed notices or cory talks to him and reconsiders being with that person, naveed sees cory with someone else in that scene with nas, drifts apart from cory, cafetaria scene
