reagan's pov

"i passed reagan i made a 85 on it!!"  he said excitedly showing me his phone that had the grade on it.

"oh my god good job joe look at that studying really gets you places doesn't it."

"let me take you out to eat since you helped me."

"i'm not going on a date with you."

"it's not a date it's a token of appreciation come on." he said pulling me.

"fine damn i didn't think joe burrow would take girls out to dinner."

"he doesn't he takes friends out though."

"oh are we friends?" i asked getting in his car.

"i don't know i think so." he said as we pulled up to chick-fil-a my absolute favorite.

we sat down and ate i got a grilled chicken sandwich with american cheese and fries and he got a spicy delux with fries. we also both got milkshakes and sat there eating.

"what'd you make on it?" he asked me.

"i don't even know i didn't look you just woke me up." i said pulling out my phone going to my grades. i had made a 96, but i wanted to make joe feel better about his grade because it was his moment.

"a 89." i said smiling at him.

"good job the student almost beat the teacher." he joked and i smiled at him.

"i guess so." i said and we ate and talked about sports for a while before leaving.

"thanks for the food."

"thanks for helping me study."

"no problem you know joe when you aren't an absolute dick to girls you aren't that bad"

"wow was that a diss and a complement? i'll take it and just so you know this was a date." he said grabbing my leg and i blushed before grabbing his hand and moving it.

"no this wasn't."

"was."

"was not."

"was."

"whatever joe i'll see you around." i said opening the door.

"wait reagan." he said and i turned to him.

"what's up?"

"what's you actually make?"

"an 89."

"bull shit."

"a 96 i just didn't want to take the 85 away from you that's honestly better than the 96 i made because you worked for it."

"you're so amazing reagan."

"why thank you mr. burrow i try i try." i said acting like i flipped my hair.

he looked at me for a minute and i looked at him. he then leaned in and for some reason i didn't stop him so he kissed me. the kiss didn't last long because i pulled away really quick.

"um i have to go bye."

"wai-" he called but i shut the door running into my apartment.

"well we'll where have you been?" she asked and i sighed sliding down the door.

"you won't even believe this."

"you were with joe?"

"yeah how'd you well that's not the end. he bought me cfa which of course i'm not gonna turn down for helping him study for the german midterm and he freaking kissed me that bastard." i said and she shrieked.

"oh my god finally!!! isn't he such a good kisser you're so lucky."

"how am i lucky you kissed him too."

"yeah but he actually like you come on reagan you can totally tell."

"no he doesn't he likes the idea of me because i won't just sleep with him. i know i've dealt with people like him before."

"which makes it clearer that he's your type. that's why you don't want to try it with him because of a past experience? we're grown up now he's not gonna be like that." she said. maybe she's right and i was just doubting him.

the next day i went and found joe after our practice because we were lifting weights and so were they. i pulled him to the side saying i needed to talk to him.

"look reagan about last night i'm" i cut him off by kissing him.

he immediately kissed me back pushing me against the wall and i put my hands through his hair. we made out for like 3 minutes and pulled away.

"shit that was good." he said smirking at me.

"yeah it was well i'll see you later bye." i said going to walk off but he pulled me back.

"woah reagan you can't just come kiss me like that and leave come with me back to my place we can hang out there." he said and i for some reason agreed.

we got back to his apartment. he shut the door and started kissing me again. we made out for a bit before he pulled at my t shirt and i pulled away.

"what're you doing?" i asked me stepping away from him.

"what do you mean i think it's pretty obvious i thought you wanted it." he said confused.

"what do you mean i thought we were just going to hang out?"

"yeah we were hanging out." he said and i realized why he wanted me over.

he didn't want me. he wanted to have sex with me. god how could i let my guard down like that? he didn't actually like me i was just like every other girl to him.

"i should go this was a mistake." i said grabbing the door handle.

"what do you mean?"

"it's obvious you brought me back here to try to have sex with me. god why did i let someone convince me you actually liked me? you just wanted to sleep with me."

"what no i don't i do like you."

"no you don't joe. you just wanted to prove a point that everyone likes you and is obsessed with you news flash they aren't. have a nice life." i said slamming the door shut with tears in my eyes.

god why did i think i was magically different from everyone? i'm not shit. he's just like the boys from high school. all they care about is sex. i'm so stupid.

i got on the elevator and went down to the first floor. when the door opened joe was standing there. he got on it and closed the door really fast.
