"I-" She starts of saying, but he slams the door shut, clutching his fists. She knocks on the door again, and I walk to open it this time. The girl was beautiful with red hair and hazel eyes. She looked about seventeen years old, and looked at me with wide eyes. "Oh, uh, hi," She says shyly, and I smile politely at her. "Hi, I'm Arizona, Danas girlfriend," I say, putting my hand out to shake hers. She places her hand in mine, shaking it. "Ari, go in the living room," Dana demands, stepping beside me. I shake my head, glaring at him, "No. You will just shut the door on her again," He glares back at me, nodding his head. "Damn right I will," He says, before glaring over at her. "I just wanted t-" She starts off, her eyes sincere, but Dana cuts her off rudely. "I don't give a fu-" I cut him off this time, slapping his arm. "Let her speak Dana, just because your mom probably did something to you, doesn't mean she did okay," I say. Even though I didn't know what happened, I felt the need to help out. He bites his bottom lip hard, crossing his arms. I smile at her, silently telling her to speak. "I wanted to say I was sorry, Livia wanted me to come over and talk to you, and it didn't work out the way she planned," She says. "I think she really is pained from not being able to have you." I'm guessing Livia is his mother, by the way she talked. "Well its her on damn fault that it happened," Dana says, still glaring at the girl in front of us. I sigh. His mother must have really hurt him.

I smile sympathetically at her. "Well, I guess you should go now," I say, knowing that was what Dana wanted. Dana walks away, still tense. "I'll talk to him." She nods, shutting the door as she leaves. I sigh, turning around to walk to the living room. I find Dana, sitting on the couch with his head in his hand. Taking a deep breath, I step all the way into the living room.

"Kayla's brother was the reason I became a 'player'," I give to him. I wasn't going to tell him the full story, I was just giving him the source of it. He looks up at me, his eyebrows scrunching together in confusion.

With that said, I left.

-------------------------------

The next day, I found myself making my way to the circle of where my friends were. Dana stood next to Cole, speaking to him as Cole had his arm wrapped around Marie.

Cole's jaw clenches a little, and I assumed Dana was telling him about his step sister. They all tell each other everything, right?

I go beside Dana, and his arm instinctively goes around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him. "I'm so excited for the trip!" Marie buds in, probably trying to lessen the tension we all felt. "Me neither," I agree, and the other girls nod their heads. "Its going to be such a romantic place! Especially at the sea," Marie says, smiling over at Cole. "Your coming, right?" Amelia asks Will, and he smiles. "Oh! I forgot to tell you, they agreed to let me go," He says, turning to me. I jump up and smile, and cheerfully clap my hands. This trip was going to be perfect.

The bell rings, and I head off to homeroom with Will and the girls. We sit in our regular spots, talking. Matt's chuckle sounds from the back, and I look at him. "So, how have you and Player-Boy, been doing?" He asks me, and I nod slowly. "Good..." I say, slowly there confused. "I have never seen that dude more whipped that he has been with you," One of Matt's friends says, and Matt elbows him in the stomach. "Does he make you feel better than I did?" Oh I see what he was going for. He wanted more of sex, like what we used to do. It wasn't happening, though, I liked Dana. And Dana seems like he likes me, considering how jealous he gets.

I smirk, and go along with it. "Oh yeah, he is so much better," Even though we have never even had sex yet. "That body can do wonders." I bit my lip, thinking about Dana. Matt scoffs, as my friends just keep watching. Matt comes a bit closer, putting his lips in front of mine. "Maybe I can prove that I'm better." I push his lips back with my hand, turning around. "Not happening, sorry, babe," His friends erupt with a bunch of Ohs, as my friends laugh. I giggle with them, and start a new conversation.

------------------

"You didn't fully tell me about Kayla's brother," Dana brings up, as we were watching Supernatural in my room. I shush him, considering my favorite part was coming up. It was the part where Castiel was watching the porn about the pizza man. I laugh at them, and I still feel Danas stare on me. I sigh, "Later on, okay. I'm not really ready to tell you the whole thing." Kayla's brother was the reason that I'm never going to be able to see my sister again, and I hate him for that. I even hate Kayla for that, mainly because she shoved the whole thing in my face.

He sighs to, nodding his head in the dark. I turn my head towards him, kissing his lips. I pull him closer to me, and he pulls back a little, surprised. He breaths, and looks at me confused. "What was that for?" I shrug a little, a smile coming to my face. "I just feel like its time for us to get a little closer, you know?" I go back up to kiss him, but he pulls back shaking his head. "I don't think we should, Arizona," He stands up. I sit up, confused. All guys want it, why doesn't he? My eyebrows scrunch together, confused. "Why not?" He shakes his head, grabbing his book bag. "I have to go," He says, and his voice sounds a little confused.

He exits my room, and I just lay back, really confused. He wasn't supposed to reject me.

Oh dear god, please don't have him be gay like Christian off of clueless.
