Chapter Five

When I pull away I smile. I don't like this boy of course so I can't help but smile at him. I'm in such a fantastic mood. I ask the guy I just kissed if he'd grab me a drink and he replied with a smile. When he came back with it I drink it quite fast.

"So what's your name?" Sandy asks.

"Trey dreaks," he replies nonchalantly.

"Cool. You're really cute," Roxanna says.

"Hot more like it!" Amanda says with a toss of her red hair.

"Thanks ladies," he says and looks shyly down to his lap.

He's really shy, I think to myself.

"Jake, want to go grab a drink with me?" I ask.

"Sure, baby girl," He says in reply.

I keep my eyes away from Andrews face.

I grab Jake's hand and run out of the room.

"So, what do you think of that Trey kid?" Jake asks suspiciously.

"Nothing really. He's really boring," I say picking at my drink.

He smiles at me. He takes my hand and kisses it trailing small pecks up to my arm.

"Not like me," he says and cups my face as he kisses my lips as well.

"Not like you," I say when we pull away from each other.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you what was going on with you and Andrew," he said putting his hands in his jeans.

"Well, at your party we, um well we kissed. After that when we went to the movies, I had a date with Andrew after that," I said. I knew what was coming.

"Oh, well who would you choose? I don't care how Edward-Jacob I sound," he says.

"Hah. You made a twilight reference.. Anyways, um I don't know. Andrew did something that makes me really want to learn towards you, but I really like him. Of course, I like you too," I say. I wasn't expecting him to be so.. Chill about all of this.

"What did Andrew do?" He said suspiciously. I bite my tongue knowing I shouldn't tell the truth.

"Oh, just nothing. So, you're cool with me figuring it out? I don't want to make any mistakes," I say.

"Of course I'm cool with it. Knowing Andrew I'd say he won't be though," He says. I wonder what their connection is, but I don't pry.

I nod.

We go back to the game for a while. Andrew texts me asking if I'd like to go outside with him I nod when he looks at me and we excuse ourselves.

"Hey, are you dating Jake, Adri?" He asks.

I shake my head.

"It's complicated. I mean, it's just hard," I say.

"You know what I could go for?" He asks. I shake my head no.

"Some midnight truffle blizzards. Want to go and grab some?" He asks.

I laugh and say sure.

"Since when do men crave like women? You don't get periods right?" I say on our way to Dairy Queen.

"Actually, I have something important to tell you," he says seriously at a red light.

"What?" I ask.

"I'm one ..hundred ...percent woman," he says and pushes out his chest and twirls his hair.

We both laugh out of control until we get there.

"Oh my god, you're so funny Drew," I say.

We shrugs and smiles at me.

We order out blizzards and once we get them we sit down.

"So, want to play twenty questions?" I ask.

"Sure," he says.

"Are you a virgin?" I ask.

He pauses for a second like he's contemplating telling the truth.

"One hundred percent. I sound like a loser, but I'm waiting for the right girl," he says smiling.

"You're sweet. Okay, what's your most embarrassing moment?" I ask.

"Oh geez, um probably once when I forgot a belt and my pants fall down," he says laughing.

We go on with questions like favorite colors, worst date, best date, favorite qualities in a friend, favorite food, and so on.

"What's your biggest flaw?" He asks.

"Probably, being afraid. Like, afraid to be me, to do the right thing, to do the wrong thing, and well such," I say.

He nods and holds my hand as we walk back to the car.

The drive home is filled with comfortable silence.

When he drives me home I kiss his cheek and shut the door.

I lean against the door and fall down slowly. Wow.
