Ari's POV
The weekend had barely started and Joey Kellers' party was all anyone could talk about.
The number of times I'd heard 'Ohmigosh it's going to be so much fun' and 'We're going to get sooo wasted!' had me rolling my eyes almost every five minutes.I hadn't yet told the girls of my recent discovery- my feelings towards Eli.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't going to hear the end of it once I told them.
I was going to go get ready in their dorm since it was easier for just me to shift so I was planning on telling them then.Once all of us settle down for first period, Antonio slides closer to me.
"You going tonight?"I smile though I internally rolled my eyes. How was even he excited about the party? He hasn't even been to one before!
"Yep" I say anyway, popping the 'p'."So..." He drawled, "I was hoping I could take you out on another date? " he says a little more confidently than the last time.
Thinking about my crush on Eli, I decided to break off whatever was happening between Antonio and I.
I smile nervously, "Erm.. About that.."
Seeing the disappointment show on his face made me regret saying it but I know I had to do it. I couldn't string one person along when I liked somebody else. Even if that dickwad Eli didn't like me back it still wasn't fair to Antonio.
"I'm sorry Antonio but I don't think I can. Not that I didn't enjoy myself the first time cause boy, I sure did!"
"Then what is it?" He inquired leaning over.
My eyes widened "Hmm?!".
Should I tell him? I didn't think he'd like it. But I'm also pretty scared he'd tell Eli if I said so.
Deciding to give him half the truth I say, "I sorta..erm.. I like someone else. "
Chuckling nervously I look up at him waiting for a response.He looks at me wide-eyed though the disappointment was evident.
"Who is it?!"I look up at the ceiling "Uh.. I'm not too ready to tell anybody yet. I'm pretty sure I'll get over it before it gets too serious so.. It isn't that important. "
He scoffs incredulously, "So let me get this straight. You won't go on a date with me because you like someone. But you won't tell me who because you're planning on getting over it?"
I look at him flatly, "Well I didn't really need to hear a summary of it but yeah"
"Why would you want to get rid of your feelings instead of pursuing it?" He says, forgetting that class had started a while ago and turning to me fully.
I roll my eyes at his childishness "Because it's pointless! Duh! It's like craving for caviar when you can't afford it. What do you do? You douse the cravings in takeout. Simple as that."
I say, pretty impressed with my analogy.Antonio starts laughing at that. Trying to make sure he doesn't get noticed by the teacher, he laughs quietly and that just makes him look like he's having a seizure.
Because laughter is just that contagious, especially when you're not supposed to be laughing (like in a classroom for instance), I start laughing as well.
We thought we were doing a pretty good job at going unnoticed until we heard silence in the classroom.
We both lift our heads to see Miss Hilary, our teacher stood right in front of us with her arms crossed in front of her and a sharp eyebrow raised.
