I walk home, thinking about Brady and Peter.
As I'm lost in thought, I hear an echo of my name as i come back to Earth.
"Maia......Maia.....Maia!"
"Hm?!? What?? WHAT??" I turn around, and there's Peter. UGH.
"Hey."
"What do you want?" I turn and start walking fast, and Peter struggles to keep up with my quick stride.
"My friend is having a barbeque tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to maybe..go with me..?"
I stop dead in my tracks.
"Hold up. Hold the FUCK UP."
I could spit nails.
"First, you call me babe and get all up in my business. and then, hah. AND THEN, you fucking kiss me, WITHOUT permission, and then you have THE NERVE to ask me on a date?" I poke him in the chest with my finger, pushing him away from me with every word.
Peter disgusts me.
"I-I-"
"THE ANSWER IS NO, DIPSHIT. GO FIND ANOTHER GIRL TO HIT ON."
"LET ME TALK." He says, very assertively.
What does he want now? I guess I'll listen to what he has to say.
I place my hand on my hip. "Thirty seconds. Go."
"Wait, what?"
"Twenty-nine..."
"Okay, okay! I was just asking you because I think we got off on the wrong foot. I only want to be your friend, that's all. Just a friend. And I am SO sorry for the way i treated you before. Sometimes I don't even understand my own actions..."
I think for a moment. His apology does seem sincere. I feel kinda bad for him. Some guys just don't know how to express themselves.
I hope I don't regret this.
"Ok." Who knows. Maybe Peter will be a good friend. We'll see.
"Wait, what?"
"Give me your phone."
"What?"
"Quick, before I change my mind."
He pulls his blue iphone out of his pocket, and hands it to me.
I go into the contacts and add my name and number. "There," I say as I hand it back to him, "text me the address."
I jog away.
I'm surprisingly super excited for the party. I can meet a bunch of new people for the first time since I've moved here. This will be great.
Okay. Cool.
