Chapter Twenty Nine

Zach

Hm, how do I put that I'm a really cool guy when you get to know me, but not giving off the hint that she has to fully know me?

Maybe I'm just not a cool guy.

I laugh at myself.

Okay number one...

1) I have a lot of friends- acquaintances. My best friend is Dan.

2)... this is dumb

3) I think you're hot

4) ignore number four, I'm not supposed to think that

5) I hate talking about myself

6) I think you're hot

7) I haven't slept in 13 hours

8) I wanna have a son, named Brody

9) I'm not hinting at anything by the way

10) I think you're beautiful

I couldn't think of anything else and I folded the piece of paper like an envelope. I taped it up so it would look a bit more presentable and wrote "to Ria" on it.

I laughed at all the things I said on it and she's probably gonna get angry at me. She's probably putting her heart and soul into her answers and I took it as a joke.

Sorry.

I scooted up from my desk and I walked out of my room to see Preston about to knock.

"Hi," he stuttered and I just stated at him oddly.

"Uh, yeah... do you need something?"

He scratches his head and I clear my throat, "Can I come in?"

I considered thinking about saying no, but I obliged as I opened the door more wide to let him in.

He shuts the door after him and I roll my eyes, "Okay, so I'm gonna get straight to the point, what are you trying to do with my girlfriend?" He asks more seriously and I rub my chin.

"We're friends," I stated nonchalantly.

"Yeah, yeah I got that, but I think you have some interior motives," he points at me and I narrow my eyes at him.

"Okay," I shrug.

"Okay? That's all you need to say? After everything, really?"

"What are you trying to say? And don't even mention Scarlet," I spoke. I already knew he was thinking of it, trying to bring up the past. I liked Scarlet first, but he technically dated her first. I mean bro...

"I wasn't," he clenches his teeth.

"Yeah you were!" I said and he rolls his eyes.

"Doesn't matter, I had her first and also I have Ria, stop trying to steal them from me!" He shouts and realization draws on me.

I start to chuckle, realizing his game. This is all a game, and I finally solved the puzzle, "you still love Scarlet and you're trying to get back at me or whatnot by dating Ria, aren't you?" I say and he doesn't say anything and he shakes his head.

"N-no-"

"You are a dick, Preston," I spat out, suddenly getting angry at his intentions, "you really think-"

"I love her!" He shouts and I shake my head, "I actually love Ria, what about you? You didn't even like Scar, she was your fuck buddy!"

"Sucks for you, you didn't realize we weren't really dating until Ria came," I shrugged.
