Unreachable

In Between

The past couple of weeks have been the same between me and Brandon. But now it's kind of awkward. 

I've been bowling against Andrew's team for the past 4 weeks and I still haven't gotten the courage to talk to him. I think Andrew is starting to catch onto me, every time I look at Brandon, I look at Andrew and he's looking at me, questioning me. 

Andrew: Okay, I see what your doing. Just go talk to him, would ya.

Kayla: First, what am I doing? And it's not that simple.

Andrew: I see the way you look at him and yea it is.

Kayla: Yea, maybe for you.

Andrew: What's that supposed to mean?

Kayla: That you're a guy. 

Andrew: Ouch, is it that obvious.?

Kayla: Oh, im so sorry, did I bruise your ego, or are you suddenly gay now? Wow that makes a lot more sense about why your girlfriend broke up with you.

Before Andrew could respond Brandon comes in.

Brandon: Oh shit, man just give it up she got you.

I chuckle and give a slight glance to Brandon. 

Andrew: Okay, nobody asked for your opinion dude. And Kayla that is not what happened.

Kayla: Oh really, is that why she's not watching you talk to me right now.

Andrew: Wait, what! Why I told her we are just friends.

Kayla: Yea, and in her defense, I know everything about you, so to a girlfriend...

Andrew: Ex-girlfriend

Kayla: Right, ex-girlfriend, and when you guys broke up, I was the first person you went to, that could be a little intimidating to her.

Andrew: I guess, but you're like 3 years younger than me so I'm good.

Kayla: Damn, that shit stinged.

Andrew looks at Brandon.

Andrew: Bro, girls are so fucking complicated.

Brandon: Yea, most of them...

Brandon looks at me.

Bandon: but not her, she's different.

Andrew looks at him, feeling a spark. 

Andrew: Okay, well imma leave you guys alone, so you can talk out... whatever this is.

Me and Brandon look at each other.

Kayla and Brandon: (cough) yea, I'm up to bowl so...

 We both laugh and walk away, looking at each other.
