The end of the school year is near and Antony has yet to decide who exactly he's going to take to prom.
He says Maria but plays with my heart and says maybe me.
So I confront him.
"Antony you have a girlfriend. Who you say you're going to take to prom. But you also say you might take me? So, who's it going to be?" I'm pretty sure he could tell I was nervous. He chuckled and said, "I'll take you. If you tell me you love me." My heart raced so fast I'm surprised I didn't have a heart attack. I panic.
"I- I can't." My hands are clamy.
"Why?" Antony asked with confusion written all over his face.
"Because Antony I- I don't love you. I can't love you." I panic more. "I lo- like you but I can't love you."
I can see his hurt.
"I'm sorry Antony." I look around. I need to leave. "But you have a girlfriend!" I run back home. This time he doesn't follow.
