the more that i think about it, i really should not care if him and victoria do anything. but at the same time, if he really wants to "know me" and he's actually interested in me he would only talk to me right?

"you know what, i change my mind," i say, as we walk back to the classroom.

"what do you mean?" he asks, confused.

"you and victoria can keep doing your thing, we aren't a thing. i do not control you."

"nope, i am a really trying to get you. you're going to be the only girl i talk to, i promise."

"well, you do you. but, i am not restricting you to the people you can't talk to. you can talk to females. i however, can still talk to brandon."

he laughs, "i meant flirting. yea i can talk to other girls, but i won't flirt with them. and fine, but i promise you, you're going to mine. you won't even think about brandon anymore."

"sure." i can already sense that he might be right. but i am going to talk to whoever i want to, and that includes brandon arreaga. it's not like i am going to go around fucking other people like him. it isn't in my blood.

we head inside the classroom and everybody is staring at us. i walk over to my seat and zion walks over to his. he grabs his things and walks to where i am sitting and sits next to me. i stare at him blankly and he smiles. a smile tries to form on my face, but i look to the other side.

"why did you come here?" i ask, while still facing the other direction.

"because i want to keep you company. why are you looking that way, face me."

i slowly turn my head to face his direction. "happy?" i snap.

"a lot better," he says gently with a smile.

...

the class ends and i tell him to leave me alone for today. he agrees, unwillingly, with the exception of walking me out the door. i accept his offer, but that is it for now. as i walk out the door a tall, handsome guy stands in my way.

"hey brandon!" i say.

"sup babe. sup z," he says to both zion and i.

"what's up b," zion says.

"aw that's cute, is edwin e?" i ask.

"no, he's ed," brandon responds.

"oh, well makes sense," i say.

"what are you doing here b?" zion asks.

"i'm here for ana, since we don't have classes together, i wanted to see her," he says to zion. "i told you, you were going to see me eventually," brandon says looking into my eyes. who knew brandon arreaga would keep his word?

"oh, sorry bro. she is pretty bu-" zion tries to say. i cut him off, "i would love to hang out brandon."

"okay, cool. well i need to go to practice right now. you can and come watch us practice. after practice, we can go to mcdonalds or something," brandon says.

"that's a boring first date," zion says under his breath. i look up at him and just stare. "this is not a date."

"yea z... this isn't a date. if you want, you can come watch. you can keep ana company," brandon says.
