Falling || PhaYo

"You guys have something special?"

YO POV

    “Come on, Yo. It’s one night. Just give me a chance.” Ricky begged as he followed me to class. I sighed and shook my head for the hundredth time.

    “Ricky, I told you. I can’t tonight. I’m going out with my friends.” I said as we reached my classroom door. He sighed and hung his head.

    “Then tomorrow.” He suggested. I gave a deep sigh and closed my eyes. This never stopped. He constantly begged me to give him a chance and go on a date with him. I just wanted it to end.

    “I’ll think about it.” I said. This caused an immediate change in his attitude. He looked up and smiled wide at me.

    “I’ll text you.” He said before running back the way we came. I shook my head and walked into class.

    After class Ming had asked me to meet up with him. He informed me that I would have to find a ride to the bar by myself because he had a few duties to finish with SOTUS.

    “Kit is bringing his friends, but Forth will be there so you will know someone besides me and Kit.” He said. I nodded as I half listened.

    Forth was Ming’s senior and he had become a really close friend of mine during my freshman year. I figured it wouldn’t be so bad going out now cause I would have someone to talk to. Ming is always talking to Kit every time he comes out with us. He hasn’t ever brought his friends. It’ll be nice to meet new people.

    “I have to go now, but I’ll see you later.” Ming said before taking his leave. I waved goodbye and left not long after.

    I opened the door to my dorm and had flopped down on the bed when my phone dinged. I looked at the ID and sighed deeply. It was Ricky. I should have known. He messages me every day after my classes. I wouldn’t be surprised if he memorized my schedule.

   

RICKY: You told me you were going out with your friends to a bar. Would it be Peaches by any chance?

    I looked at the screen with squinted eyes, suspicious.

YO: Yes, why?

RICKY: No way. My friends just invited me to go out with them to the bar. I guess we’ll be seeing one another after all ;)

    I groaned and threw my phone onto the couch across the room. I really didn’t want to see Ricky tonight, but I couldn’t just bail on Ming. We hadn’t really been able to hang out very often. I just had to bear with it.

    I sighed and got up to take a shower before changing into different clothes.

    After a couple of hours, I left for the bar.

    At the bar, I spotted Forth sitting with Kit and his friends, I’m guessing. I scanned the bar for Ricky but seen him nowhere so I made my way over to the table.

    “Wayo.” Forth said standing up and giving me a quick hug. “Glad you could make it.” He said before sitting back down and moving over a little so I could sit next to him.

    “Ming isn’t here yet.” Kit informed me. I nodded in response. “This is Lemon.” He said gesturing to the girl who was sitting beside him. She smiled wide at me and bowed slightly. “Beam.” He said as he continued gesturing to his friends. I had seen Beam a few times but had never really met him. “And Pha.” Kit said gesturing to the last guy on the couch.

    Pha was a little different. I had never met Pha but I definitely knew him. Everyone did. He was campus moon two years ago, and everyone was still obsessed with him.

    When I looked up at him his eyes were already looking at me with a piercing gaze. It felt like he could see through me or was trying to figure me out. His gaze was alluring. It made him all the more attractive.

    “I’m Jennie.” The girl next to him introduced herself, pulling me out of my thoughts. “I’m Lemons friend.” She said smiling wide. I bowed at her slightly before saying it was nice to meet her.

    “Do you want something to drink?” Forth asked as he turned to me. I nodded and smiled at him.

    “Yes, please.” I said and thanked him once he handed me the glass.

    “How is school going?” Kit asked me causing me to sigh. My mind wondered back to Ricky.

    “Good. The exams are in a couple of months so everyone has begun studying.” I explained, taking a drink of the alcohol Forth had handed me.

    “Hey.” Ming said walking up to the table from behind us. When I turned around I spotted him. Ricky. He had just pulled up with his friends and was getting out of his car to come inside.

    “Shit.” I said jumping up and grabbing someone from the other couch and pulling them up with me. I pulled them in front of me and dragged them with me to the bathroom. “Shit shit shit.” I said as I ran to the bathroom and into a stall before locking me and the other person inside

    “You could have just asked.” I looked up to see the person I had dragged into the stall with me. It was Pha.

    “Sorry.” I said looking at him apologetically. “I just kind of panicked and grabbed the first person I touched so I could hide behind him.” I said sighing deeply. Pha laughed and I could feel his chest bumping mine, letting me know how close in proximity we are.

    “Ex?” He questioned. I laughed and shook my head.

    “God no. This kid Ricky, that is a science student with me, is here and he keeps asking me on dates and I keep refusing him. I don’t want him to see me.” I explaining. Pha laughed again.

    “Wow. You must be popular.” He said before bending down to whisper in my ear. “This stall is kind of small, unlike some other things. Do you think maybe we could get out of here?” He whispered sending shivers down my spine. Just as he finished his sentence the bathroom door opened and I immediately recognized one voice as Ricky’s.

    I quickly put my hand over Pha’s mouth and may or may not have pushed up a little against him. From inside the stall we listened to their conversation.

    “I wonder where Yo is. He told me he was gonna be here as well. I thought maybe I saw him when we got here, but maybe not. He hasn’t replied back to any of my messages.” I heard Ricky tell the other kid. The other kid laughed.

    “Maybe he is ignoring you.” The kid said jokingly. I heard Ricky scoff.

    “He isn’t ignoring me. We have something special.” He said causing me to scoff and roll my eyes.

    “As if.” I mouthed. Pha laughed quietly.

    “Whatever. He’ll be here soon.” Ricky said before they left. I waited for a few seconds before looking to Pha who was smiling wide behind my hand. I removed it when the door closed again.

    “You guys have something special?” Pha asked. I snorted and shook my head. The next thing I knew Pha pushed me up against the side of the stall and placed his lips on mine.

What the hell?

    Why was he such a damn good kisser?
