Cali calls Sunday night.

"Jessa said you left the party with Lyric."

"Yeah, he took me home.
I wasn't feeling too well.
I shouldn't have went with you."

"That was nice of him to do that," She says,
and I wonder if I hear
a hint of jealousy in her voice.

She goes on.
"I keep hoping he'll call me.
You know, to ask me out.
Did he say anything about me?"

"Just that you met at the bookstore.
Where he works."

"I think I'll go by tomorrow and see him."
She pauses. "Wanna go with me?"

I want to say yes.
But not because of her.
Because of him.
And there's something
horribly
wrong in that.

"I really like him," She says.

"I know," I say.
"You should go and see him by yourself."

Because I really like him too.
