THE NEXT WEEK Naomi's aunt was still staying over at her house, which was a bit weird, considering she had a big career and it was confusing how she could get a big break all of a sudden. Naomi still had to go to school though. Math first period was hard. As the teacher blabbed on about algebra or something she doodled in the margins of her worn-out notebook. The third month of school and her supplies are basically done for already. Guess that's what she deserved after shoving them in her bag.
Mimi didn't have drama club until next week since Miss. Ortiz hit some type of bumpy road, or that's what the email said. Guy spent his days practicing his hockey skills and developing some type of delusion about the almost kiss he and Naomi had. He wondered to himself why he pulled away, but there were so many reasons. He just couldn't get his mind off Naomi herself, and practiced hockey every hour of the day which kind of helped him.
"I see you're turning into me." adam said, smirking. Guy rolled his eyes, "Never."

Beads of sweat formed on Guy's forehead as he made it to his tenth lap. The rink was spinning by now as he held onto one of the benches for some kind of support. His head was pounding, but he couldn't stop. Not now, not ever. He closed his eyes, panting as he imagined Mimi with a smile on her face, and they were both watching the sunset together. Guy shook the thought away and instead chugged down a bottle of cold water.
"Hey, man, I think that's enough for today," Adam said, patting Guy's back. Guy shook his head. "Ten isn't enough, I have to keep going. Adam sighed, "Why are you doin' all of this for Naomi?" Guy took his helmet off, giving Adam a look. "I'm not doing all this for Naomi, I'm doing this to stay fit."
"For Naomi."
"Just - shut up, will you? I'll stop if you stop talkin' about her." Adam smirked. "Deal."

THE PHONE CORD was twirled around Naomi's finger as she patiently waited for Guy to answer the phone. She had recently gotten the sudden confidence to talk with him, maybe even ask about what happened that night. "Hello?" a voice finally answered. Mimi snapped out of her trance, startled. "Um, hey. It's me, Naomi." Guy felt his stomach flip. Recently he'd been too nervous to even be around Mimi, let alone talk to her. "Oh, w-what's up?"
Ugh, why was he being so dry? Did he feel creeped out after the almost kiss from the other day? Did he find another girl? ...is he a player?! Pointless questions wandered around her head as she silently screamed. "Nothing...I just wanted to...talk." she finally answered. "That's it?" "...yeah." Guy paused for a minute, "I have to, um - head out to go to my...cousin's house. So, uh, can I talk to you later?"
Naomi's face faltered from disappointment. What was happening? It sounded like he was lying, but she tried to convince herself that he was actually going to his cousin's house. However, from the way he said it, it sounded fake. "Yeah, okay. Bye." He didn't even care to say goodbye, he just hung up. What. The. Fucking. Hell.
Naliyah walked into the room, her hand shoved into a bag of potato chips. "Who were you calling?" she asked, her mouth stuffed. "Nobody, just my grandma." Mimi quickly lied. "Oh, alright. Ready to see the movie?" "Yup..."
-
Guy tossed the telephone to the couch in anger as he ran his hands through his hair. What the hell was wrong with him? Naomi just wanted to talk, and he had to make up some stupid lie just to get away from her. Except he didn't want to get away from her. He walked to the bathroom, his face felt hot from what just happened. He washed his face with cold water and looked at himself in the mirror. He fumbled. Badly.
Adam pulled his lips away from Charlie's, out of breath. God knows how he managed to currently be in his dorm, shirtless, kissing his best friend. But he didn't mind. As long as nobody found out...
