*Maybe I like Mateo*
If I remember clearly the last time the girl with the blue sweater asked me that question was THREE MINUTES AGO!!! That’s right she’s been asking me the same question all week and won’t let it go. This is partly my fault since all I do is ignore her but I need time to think about my feelings toward Mateo before I answer her.
“I’m asking you a question!” the girl yelled out while pulling out my headphones and slapping me. I was in complete shock. A girl slapped me and not only that she pulled out headphones which were apple headphones so they also scrapped my ear. “What the hell are doing” I yelled back at her. I don’t normally yell at people especially not someone of the opposite gender. But I was mad I was frustrated.
“Are you dating Mateo?!”
“What?!”
“Are you dating my boyfriend!!!?”
My heart has never dropped so quickly before in my life. The guy who laughed with me and talked to me had a girlfriend. Not only that but the whole class was staring at us no they were staring at me. I could already hear people judging me and calling me names. I wanted to die right there.
“How can I be dating him. we’re both guys” I replied softly. I was embarrassed at myself I couldn’t believe that my heart was racing for a guy who had a girlfriend.
*2 hours later*
My pair of headphones were broken, my phone was scratched, and my cheek was bright red. The teacher separated us and gave me a lecture on how to treat women with respect. Some bullshit he barked out. All I did was yell at her for hitting me it’s not like I killed her or touched her inappropriately. But in this situation, I’m the one with a penis. *I’m pooped*
“shorty! hey!” Mateo came running toward me and jumped me. “Dude what the hell!” I said while removing his arm from my shoulders. “Dude I heard what happened and I’m really sorry!” He started to explain the situation and It turns out that this has happened two years ago but with a girl. *So they’ve been together for about three years now*
“Dude I was in shock when they told me that it was you she slapped”
“Why’s that?”
“Because we’re both guys duh”
What a stupid remark to say to someone who likes guys. In the end, I accepted his apology and our days went out as usual. He walked me home and called me an hour later. He found out that my headphones were damaged due to the incident and he bought me new ones on that exact day. He somehow snuck them into my backpack. They were black headphones with the letters AKG printed on each bud. They were brand new and they were a gift from him to me. At this point, my feeling came out clear as day. I liked Mateo.
A/N
This chapter escalated pretty fast!! I was actually going to introduce his girl-..this pains me to say *sighs* his girlfriend a bit later in the story but I didn’t want her in the story that much. Her name won’t appear much in the story so I’ll tell you right here. Her name’s Kiana and she’s Vietnamese. AAAHH MATEO WHY DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!!! Well, that’s life for ya bud…
