Polar Opposites (Avi Kaplan/Kirstie Maldonado)

(Kirstie's P.O.V)

"Hey, Kirst!"

Ugh, it's him again!

"Hey Avi!" I fake smiled.

"Hi, um, I , uh.."

"Spit it out!"

"Um, sorry. Never mind. S-sorry to bother you, Kirstie.."

What is with him?

"Kirstie!" Said Mitch excitedly as he approached me. We had been best friends for as long as I can remember! Same with Scott. The three of us have been inseparable since we could crawl!

"What's up, Mr.Grassi?"

"A: Don't call me Mr.Grassi. B: I finally got a date for senior prom!!"

"Great! Who is it?"

"Well, actually, it's not a date. We're going as friends, and you know exactly who it is!"

"So, Scott finally asked?"

"How'd you know?" He said with sarcasm.

Scott walked up to us

"So a little birdie told me you and Mitch are going to prom together!" I teased.

"And which little birdie would that be? *Ahem* Mitch?" he mumbled the last part. Elbowing Mitch in the arm.

"Ow." Mitch complained. "And yes it was me."

"Of course it was." Scott knew. He just loved to pick on Mitch, as did I. "So who are you going with, Kirst?" My blonde bestie asked.

"I don't know. Nobody has asked me yet." Well, this is sad.

"How about that Avi guy?" Mitch suggested.

"Avi? I don't really know him."

Actually, I don't want to be caught in public with him!

"Well he seems pretty cool to me! I have a couple classes with him."

Cool?

"I don't know.." No.

"Come on, give him a chance!" Mitch called.

Now Avi's coming back up to me.

"Hey, um, I was just wondering if, I don't know. If you, um wanted to go, uh, on a date, sometime? Maybe we could go to the cafè for a quick bite and go for a walk or something? It's fine if you don't. I understand..." He seems really nervous around me.

"Uh," I look behind Avi at Mitch and Scott to see them nodding and putting their thumbs up, "Sure, why not? When?"

He looks shocked that I said yes, or even replied. "Uh, is Saturday okay? I can pick you up at about 11:00 and we can head to Starbucks or something?"

"Yeah, that's fine." I nodded.

I'm dong this for the guys! I remind myself.

"Great." He handed me a slip of paper. His number I assume. "Text me later." He smiled. My assumption is confirmed.

"I will." I smiled back. What am I doing?

"I'll see you in 6th period!" he said as he walked away.

I didn't know we had 6th together. "Ok!"
