Kai's P.O.V

From what I noticed from Christian's recent behavior he's been acting like his normal, happy, giddy self at school but at home he's close to closed off. After that night we spent together he kind of became a little distant. I haven't bothered to bring it up but it's bothering me.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into things. I should give him his space. . .

I move my nasty, ass school food around my plate as I tune out both Alex and Izzy. ". . .Crystal. . .another girl. . ." I look up after a little while and see them eyeing me. " What?"

" You're going to be so hungry in Mr. Baldwin's class." I hear Alex say as he laughs a little.

" I don't feel like going today."

" Why?"

" I don't know. . .Christian just seems a little. . .different lately. I don't know if it's because of me or not."

" You guys have been hanging around each other constantly, maybe you should just give each other a rest. You're like inseparable these days." I hear Izzy say making me laugh.

" I haven't been around him for like 2 weeks! . . .If it really is like that then he should just tell me."

" Either way you'll still end up like this. Does it really matter?" Alex says close to indifferent. I let out a sigh and look away from the both of them. It does matter.

The bell rings but I still move around my food idly. I wasn't kidding when I said I didn't want to go to class. I know I need to but. . ." Kai we'll see you later."

" Yea, yea, yea. Bye." Alex messes up my hair while scoffing and leaving to his class. After a couple of minutes the once filled cafeteria becomes nothing but a barren wasteland of plates and food that didn't make it to the trash. Besides me, only a few other people are here lollygagging about until the staff shows up.

I do nothing but put my head down on the table while fumbling with my hands, completely sulking. Is this what withdrawal feels like?

"Ugh. . .I'm a fucking mess. . .I hate being put to the side. . .Busy or not. . ." Oh my gosh I'm sounding needy too. I really am reverting back to my old self again.

I feel arms being wrapped around my neck and instantly know who it could only possibly be. " You know I'm not pushing you to the side right?" He says as his lips press against my ear making me a little more than excited but I suppress it and continue to rest my head on the table.

" Yup." I say into the table.

" Well, that's not what I heard."

I blink and instantly hear him laugh. " Well you obviously don't like my swim matches, or even practices . . . so I didn't invite you. That's what I've been doing all week."

" I never said that. I get to see you practically naked, why would I find that boring?"

" You really are a perv. I'm glad I didn't invite you."

I raise my head and turn to look at him. " You know you're going to make this up to me right?"

I see his eyes stray away from me as he lets out a sigh. " I figured you would say something like that. . .so. . .I kind of have something. . .planned. He says while looking at everything but at me which I can't help but find unbelievably cute.

" Oh? Are you trying to ask me out on a date?" I ask bluntly causing him to blush. He has to like me, why else would he be blushing over something as trivial as that? And a date? C'mon. . .
