I was using the song above as inspiration while writing this, so I thought I would add it.
******************************** I don't want to see her. It was the next day, and I had avoided Monica to the best of my abilities. I had so many questions and so many accusations I wanted to yell at her, that it took a lot of willpower. I was heading to lunch, and I really didn't want to sit at a table with Monica. I wasn't ready to pretend nothing was wrong. As I closed my locker, I saw Nick walking up to me. Sh!t. I tried to avoid him by taking the long way.
"Andy, wait up!" He said as he ran to catch up with me. Oh god.
"What's up?" He looked concerned.
"Just going to lunch." I try to keep the scowl of my face, even though I was mentally telling him to go to hell. I'm probably overreacting, because he didn't know I had a crush on him. We did go to Junior Prom together though, but just as friends.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go see a movie tonight?" He isn't asking me out. I had enough "going outs" with him to know they weren't dates, he just thought I was mad at him, and he wanted to cheer me up.
"You could bring Monica if you want." He smiled as he said it, making me kind of want to puke. Definitely not asking me out. "Why don't you ask Monica, I'm sure she would love to go with you," I tried to sound happy instead of disgusted, "I can't make it."
"Okay then." And without another word, I turned and left him in the hallway. I don't think I could ever go out with him again, until I confronted Monica about their relationship. Not today, not ever.
