The Shadows of His Heart

Chapter 3

*Devin's POV*

I pushed Mikeal slightly after what he said.

"She's my best friend man." I said as I shook my head. "Not that she's ugly or..like I don't like her..cause I..I mean she's..." Mikeal began to laugh as I stopped mid-sentence.

"Yeah, and I'm obsessed" he said sarcastically.

"You look at Cynthia like a dog looks at meat, adoringly." I rebutted.

"Have you seen her ass?" He said dramatically. "How is it real?" I laughed at his stupidity.

"C'mon man, she's a girl not a steak."

"Then again, I like steak, and I like her." He laughed at his own joke. "Is there a difference? Cause I see none." He replied.

"Dude!" I said as I got up to throw away my tray. "Can you grab my hat for me?"

"Yeah, as I was saying. Cynthia, she's gorgeous. Do you think I have a chance? What if I do something cute? Girls like cute, right? Im cute, right?" He began to second guess himself.

"Dude, dude, dude, calm down. Just ask her out. The school dance is this Wednesday; See if she's going."

"I guess your right." He said nervously laughing.

We walked back to the other side of the cafeteria, where our bags were. "You know, I was nervous to ask out my last girlfriend. Then again bad example we only lasted like 3 days". He sighed and shook his head at me. "Sorry?" It came out as more of a question.

Really man?
