Will Hold On To You

The Day After

Violet *P.O.V*

Last night was indescribable. We were so close when Angelo pinned me to the wall. I had butterflies just by looking at his mesmerizing eyes.

I'm kinda down that he asked me out on a date and I had to reject him. It would have been our first date if I accepted but I'm not agreeing to go on a date with him by a dare.

I have plans tonight with Rica. I don't know what we're gonna do. I hope that she's just making an excuse to not spend time with Shaira.

I'm not comfortable around Rica anymore because of Shaira. If looks can kill. I should be dead by now. Her glares are so terrifying.

"Guess whooo." Someone covered my eyes with her hands. It's obviously Rica. The only person I got close with yesterday was Rica. I'm pretty sure it was her. I had small talks with others though with some of my classmates.

"Rica, I know it's you." I took her hands off of my eyes.

"Can't wait for our date tonight." Rica grinned hugging me.

Oh no! She wanted it to be a date! I'm not interested in her that way. She's my friend I don't  want to hurt her.

"Um.. Rica? About tonight, I can't" I'm trying to lie. I don't want this.

"How come?" Her smile turned to a frown. Now, I feel bad for making her upset.

"I'm visiting my grandma later and probably she's gonna make me stay for the night." I lied

"Okay then, accompany me to my locker?" She asked. "Sure." I nodded and we went to her locker.

Angelo *P.O.V*

My sister and I are on our way to school. I'm driving her to school because she needed a ride. Besides, we go to the same school.

"How was the party?" Cheska asked me. "Was Aila good?" She continued wiggling her eyebrows.

"We didn't do anything." I said chuckling.

"Who are you and what have you done to my brother?!" She playfully hit my arm.

"She haven't done it before. I'm not taking her virginity and leave her after I do." I said rolling my eyes.

"Aawww" she pinched my cheek. 

"Oh something happened last night" I said starting a new topic.

"What?" She asked. "I got rejected by a girl." I said shaking my head with disbelief. "Ooooh! That's new! Who's the girl?" She asked laughing at me.

"Violet Smith?" I said unsure of her last name. "Don't know her." She said shrugging. "Is she pretty?" Cheska continued. "Yeah. She's beautiful." I smiled. "Oh my! You never describe a girl using the word beautiful! You always say pretty and attractive! You must be really into her!" Cheska clapped excited.

"Whatever. I'm gonna make her go on a date with me." I stated. "Oh my gosh you really like her! Goodluck bro." She kissed my cheek then got out of the car.

I'm gonna make you say yes, Violet Smith. I won't stop until I do.

She's the only girl that rejected me and in the same time the only girl I want to know better. What?! What am I saying?! Is this the effect of rejection?

There's something about her that I really, I just don't know what.

Class has ended and I made my way to find Violet. Five minutes of searching, I found her by her locker.

Here I go then.

"Violet." I tapped her shoulder. "Angelo." She nodded.

"Why did you reject me?" I asked her straight to the point.

"Because I don't want to go out on a date with you." She simply answered.

"Why don't you wanna go out with me?" I asked her.

"I don't have a reason to go out with you." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Are you playing hard to get? You don't have to. I'm really attracted to you." -I said.

Wow. That came out of nowhere.

She sighed amd closed her locker.
"Why should I go out with you?" She asked me. "To know each other?" I answered. "No." She declined and walked away from me.

"Please? How about tonight? We can have dinner and a movie date?" I asked her.

When she opened her mouth to speak, Rica answered for her.

"She can't. She's visiting her grandmother tonight." Rica said and pulled Violet away from me.

Wait? Rica is a lesbian, I recall. Maybe that's why she doesn't want to go out with me. Maybe she's into Rica. Although I see no interest from Violet for Rica. Maybe Violet is gay?

Well rejected again. I'm not gonna give up though. I'll make her say yes.
