What harm could it do right? I reassured myself. “Sure,” I say giving him a small smile which I hoped was enthusiastic.

He nodded eagerly, “I’ll pick you up? Six o’clock?”

“Okay,” I drawled out slowly.

He gave me a brilliant smile and turned away.

“Do you even know where I live?” I laughed at his foolishness.

“Yeah- I- No,” He said stuttered then rubbed the back of his head.

I rambled off the address of Trey’s house to him. It was weird really. Nathan and I had made up so I’d pick whose house I wanted to stay at to try and maintain a healthy balance. It just meant I had things over at Trey’s and Nathan’s.

I pulled out my mobile –which I had finally gotten back- and checked the time cursing when I saw the game had started.

I pushed and shoved everyone where I finally found a seat in the middle of the aisle. Groaning I muttered apologies to them and I stepped on their feet or clothes.

Trey like usual had the ball and was flying around the court like a maniac. I’d often seen him at practice but it was never like this. He caught my eye and grinned looking shocked when the opposing team stole the ball off him.

“Keep your head in the game,” the coach roared at him.

It wasn’t really hard to beat them. The scores finished 56-15 they were just that good. People around me jostled me laughing and asking me questions about the number one on the shirt.

I just shrugged and told them again and again he just wanted me to wear it.

I stood up and ran down the stairs so I could get on the court. The banisters didn’t allow me to do that so I swung my legs over it and sat down.

Instead of celebrating with his team, Trey made his way to me and pulled me off the banister.

“Jordan?” he was still panting slightly looking a bit nervous.

I gave him a hug, “I didn’t know Mr. Player was such a good basketball player.” I said laughing.

“Jordan? Will- Will you be my girlfriend?” He said shifting slightly.

I forgot how to close my mouth. I wanted to tell him yes but I couldn’t I had stupidly agreed to go on a date with Jesse. Although it was my fault for saying yes I couldn’t help but still be annoyed at Jesse.

“I-,” I closed my mouth again not knowing what to say.

Trey’s eyebrows pulled together and it was the first time I’d seen a guy that nervous. I decided to get it over and done with.

“I can’t,” I said my voice breaking slightly.

I watched his face fall and felt like the most horrible person on earth as I continued. I closed my eyes and screwed up my face, “Jesse asked me to go on a date with him and I said yes.” I whispered.

I saw something flicker in his eyes. His hand let go of mine. “Oh, right.” He said awkwardly. The same emotion flashed again as he walked off. His team mates surrounded him and he plastered on a smile. But if you knew him as well as I did, he was unhappy. And it was my fault.

“I don’t have anything to wear,” I moaned to no one in particular. My clothes were strewn across the room. I threw myself on the bed giving up. I’d tell him I was sick.
