AZA
Thursday. Psychology class. Sean turns around in his seat to pass some worksheets.
"Here you go, Aza."
"Yeah, thanks."
He doesn't turn around. We haven't spoken to each other since going out. He left me a few messages, but I simply ignored them, even if that's rude. I'm not interested in him. I never was, actually.
"Is there a problem?" I say.
His eyes are set on my neck. They widen. "No," he says.
A second passes. He turns around.
"Stop grinning," I say.
"I'm not," Phoenix says.
"You totally enjoyed that."
"A little."
I have to admit, so did I.

"...It was huge though. I wonder who gave it to her."
Sean and his friend Lewis Mill are standing next to me. I'm pretty sure I know what they're talking about.
"Maybe that Ky guy."
"Thought about that too."
"Why did she go out with you though?"
"Dunno," Sean says. "Because she's a slut?" He chuckles. I feel my grip around the bottle I'm holding tightening. "She does look like one," he says. I really, really feel like throwing the bottle in his face.
"And what exactly do sluts look like?" Lewis says.
"Well, like her."
I think the bottle might explode.
"Sure, Sean."
"What's weird though, is that she wouldn't let me touch her - she wouldn't even let me hold her hand."
"Maybe she's not into douches."
"Come on, every girl's into me."
