Anxious

\11

'Walk it off rookie. You'll be okay.

"I could've died."

'Don't be so dramatic.

"Whatever."

'I'm gonna go get water.

"I'm coming with you."
I looked at her and gave her a thumbs up.
"Fine I'll stay here."
I kissed her cheek and went to the vending machine.
I got a water and felt someone's breath down my neck.

"Damn boo." A guy said. I turned around and his breath reeked of milk vodka and cigarettes.
I waved a little and tried walking around him. 
"How come we've never met babygirl? You're too pretty for the Wayne not to know you."

He slammed his hands on the machine holding me there. Thankfully someone cleared their throat making him confused.

"I'm sorry but you need to back the hell up." Parker said.

"Why should I?"

"Because she doesn't want you. Take a hint and move."

The guy left and Parker smiled a little at me.
I looked up at him and nodded. I started walking back to Dani.

"Hey hey hey." He said stopping me. "How have you been?"
I gave him a thumbs up and turned around.

"Allie?"
I never thought I'd be so happy to see Garrett. He jogged over and gave me a hug.
"Oh. Hi." He said. "You must be. Dani?"

"I'm a guy." Parker said.

"I am so sorry. I'm a terrible person. Oh god. I need to go jump off of a cliff. Or hide. Yeah. Hiding sounds good."

Hello kindred spirit.
I touched his shoulder and he looked into my eyes. I smiled at him and he calmed down.

"Don't worry about it. It's okay."

"Okay. Okay. Good. Alright. Again. I'm so sorry."

"Parker." He said.

"Parker." Garrett repeated. "oh and I can't wait for coffee tomorrow."

"You're going out with him?"

"And Calvin and Dani."

"Who the fuck is Calvin?"

"It's starting to get tense so I'm gonna go. I'll text you?"
I nodded and he kissed my cheek before leaving.

"So you and Dani are having some fucked up polyamorous relationship with whats-his-face and the dope?"
I shook my head and started walking back to Dani.
"Allie wait.."
I stopped and turned around.
"I miss you. Can I make it up to you?"

I looked at him and pursed my lips. I shook my head and ran back to my girlfriend.

"What took you so long?"
I gestured to him and she picked up the skateboard. She wrapped her arm around my shoulder and walked me inside.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that."

"It's okay. I didn't know he was gonna show up either." I said and kissed her. I put my boards back and sat on my bed.
"I found out that Garrett has anxiety too."

"Like the same you have?"

"We have similar thoughts and fears of fucking up." I said.

"Mhm."

"Are you getting jealous?"

"Did he kiss you?"

"Yes."

"What do you think?"

"Trust me." I said to her.

"I do trust you."

"Then believe me when I say that I love you and if he ever tried to do anything serious I would stop him."

"Okay."

"Okay?"
She nodded and Kori walked in.

"Hey hey hey." She said. "I brought food."

"What kind?"

"Chicken and fake meat. Because I know my wifey is a vegetarian."

I smiled at her and she handed it to me. 

"No wonder you're so fit." Dani said to me. I only shrugged and opened the box.

I ate some and paused.
"You alright?" Kori asked me.
I nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

Dani looked at me and opened her mouth. I gave her some and she looked confused.

"That's like really good."
I nodded.
"I didn't think non meat could taste good."

"It has to be edible Dani." Kori said and ate her own food.
There was a knock on my door and I opened it.

To my surprise Calvin was standing there.
I waved at him.

"hey." He said with a small smile. "I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here."
I nodded with a smile.
"Well. I just wanted to stop by and ask what time we were gonna go for coffee."
Dani walked behind me.

"I'm good for 5:30." She said. I nodded in agreement.

"5:30 it is." He said.

"Who's out h- hey boo." Kori said.

"Hello there." He said.

"What's your name?"

"Calvin." He said.

"I'm Kori and can I just say. You are beautiful."

"Oh. Did I pull out my mirror?"
Smooth.

"I like him. Keep him around." Kori said and walked back in.

"She's single." Dani said with a wink and a thumbs up. "Go for it." She mouthed.
He gave her a thumbs up and kissed us on our cheeks.

"Kori." He called.

"Yes?"
He put his hands on her cheeks.
"I'm asking you out on a date on Friday."

"I say yes."

"7?"

"7." She said.

"I'm going to kiss you now."

"Okay." He pecked her lips and both of her cheeks. He walked out and clicked his heels when he got down the hallway.
