Song: Fine line - Harry Styles
I'm such an idiot.
I can't believe I asked Scarlett to be friends again. Why would she want to? I'm a nerd, she's popular. It should've been obvious to me that she wouldn't want to.
Remember how I said we had started to get along a few weeks back? Well now it's become awkward between us agin. Because of my blabber mouth.
Tutoring is still going on but we don't talk as much anymore and the laughs have stoped. We act proffesionally now? I hate it.
"What's got you so distracted, son?" I hear my dad ask.
"Distracted?" Do I look distracted?
"You're staking hula hoops onto the bar." I look down and sure enough, I'm putting hula hoops onto the barbell instead of weights. What in the world?
"Oh, sorry." I apologize as I go for the weights. I didn't even know we had hula hoops in our garage.
Working out with my dad in our garage has been a thing since freshman year. We try every other night after dinner, he says it's to bond and to talk about things. He has some equipment here that we use. It's part of the reason why my body's been in good shape over the years.
"You need to talk about something?"
I think for a moment on whether I should tell him about Scarlett and I. "It's just, I asked Scarlett to be my friend again." I sigh running my fingers through the top of my hair.
"That's great!" He smiles. He's always liked Scarlett, so the idea of us being friends again must make him really happy.
"Well it's not since she said no." I say as I load my weights onto the barbell.
"She said no?"
"Well, she didn't exactly get to but she was going to."
"How do you know?"
"Huh?"
"How do you know? Maybe she was going to say yes."
"I doubt it."
"Maybe give her time. You might of caught her off guard when you asked her. It has been a long time since you guys were friends. I'm sure she'll come around."
I look to the ground thinking for a bit.
Yeah, maybe.

"I'm done with this one." I say trying to hand my worksheet over to Scarlett who is laying on my bed on her stomach with her legs crossed behind her.
"Scarlett?" I try again seeing as she's deep in thought.
"Yeah?" She says finally snapping out of it.
"I said I'm done." I repeat handing her the sheet. She takes it from me a looks at it.
"It's good." Is all she says once she scans it handing it back to me.
My Spanish grade has really improved in the last 2 months. I honestly don't know how I would have turned out if Scarlett didn't accept to tutor me.
A silence has fallen over the room that if a needle were to drop you could hear it.
"Alex?" Scarlett suddenly speaks.
"Yeah?" I question as she takes a minute to continue.
"I'm sorry." I hear her nearly whisper.
