Slowly Falling 4 U (1/2) CLS

Question Is

"Dominic!" I shout down the half empty hall ways.

He turns his head in the direction of my voice. But doesn't stop walking.
I jog up to him.

"Morning diggles." I say in a sing song voice.
He looks at me. "Hey."

Where was the Polly?
When I say diggles he says Polly.
Diggles, Polly.
Diggles, Polly.

Now I know something is really up.

"Dom what's up?"

"The sky." He stifles a laugh.

"I see nothing funny."

"Besides your face."

I look at him shocked at his rude humor. He doesn't look at me.

"Dominic." I say sternly

" That's my name and don't wear it out. Like your hairstyle. What? Its like '2009 old."

Before I can say anything he turns the corner smoothly entering his class.

What just happened?

*******

So I had two theories.
Dominic wasn't having enough good sex.
Or
He got dumped by someone he really liked.

1 out of the 2 theories seemed indeed accurate. I just didn't know which.

We were at lunch. Everyone was seated and talking and gossiping. Eva was with us. She still seemed cool. But every once in a while I'd get a bad vibe from her looks. Weird I know.

Dominic approaches our table. Sits next to Leyah and T.J. and doesn't say a word. No 'hi' or anything. I speak up. "Dominic we were just talking about the May weather fight."

He moves his arm in the air.
"So. Continue talking."

I shrug my shoulders.
My plan was to get him agitated enough to spill.

"I bet may weather could be the stuffing out of Dominic."

" I'm not a tedy bear."

I look at him.
"No one was talking to you."
Ohs and burns were echoed through the table. And I smirked.

I moved my arm waving it in the air. Duplicating his once astonishing rude manner.
"So I'll continue." I say bowing my head.

"As I was saying. Dominic can beat him in looks but not in a fight."

"You don't even like black guys.You don't even know what taste is. Let alone looks."

"I liked you didn't I?" I say. Empathising the 'you' in the sentence.

He stands. "You know what? At least I'm getting some. Unlike you. Your just a hot head know it all. You think that your smarter than everyone. But you aren't. You and your Japanese looking boyfriend. Can get on with that mess."

He desertes the table leaving us blank.

I get up. But Shayne holds my arm. I yank it out of his grip. 'I hear Eva say "Boyfriend." In a questioning tone.

And I turn. "Yea boyfriend.What did you think we were? Friends w/ benefits?"
I'm hot now.

"No, no its just that's something Shayne failed to menton when-."

"...I was showing her around the school."

I look at him. "Shayne let the girl finish her sentence herself. Eva?"

"When we were....." She looked shy almost. Almost.

"Having sex."

Ok so yea I knew something fishy was going on. But having sex? SEX?

I don't acknowledge Eva anymore. But rather Shayne. I laugh. "Read my lips." I say.
"We. Are. Done. F-ck those words outta the park tonight, Ok?"

I leave. I go through the halls looking for Dominic but find him nowhere. I sit up against one of the freshman lockers and just sit there. I don't cry. But I don't acknowledge my pain either.

Footsteps are heard approaching me.
I look up. Hoping that Shayne is hear to apologies.

I Smell him before I get a good look. Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani Cologne fills my nostrils.

"T.J?" I call out.

He sits beside me. I peer up at him.
"Yes?" I ask.

"He can be an @$$hole at times."
I laugh.

"Shayne or Dominic."

"Both."
I nod, agreeing.
"Did you really like him,Shayne?

I shrug. "I don't know. He's a player and I knew that. I just thought he could change."

"Do you think all players are like that?" He asks.

"No I think that if your willing to change that your a step better than what you once were." I say.

"If the girl is really worth it. You'll change." I finish.

He nods. "Pyper?"

"Hmm." I hum drawing an invisible circle on the half cleaned tiled floor.

"I'm willing to change for you."
My head bobs up at the words he just expressed.

And before I can say meaningless words. He leaves me utterly speechless by kissing me.

And I might be a really bad person for this but I actually kinda enjoyed it.
