Melancholic (BxB)

Chapter 31

2 years ago, Matt's party.

Andrew's POV.

"What do you mean you can't come? Don't be so lame, c'mon Andrew you have to be here!" Briana was begging me from the phone to go to Matt's party but I really wasn't in the mood and just wanted to stay home.

I got so tired after the football practice that I didn't have the energy to do anything else anymore. Don't get me wrong I loved football but sometimes it could be extremely exhausting. Ever since I was a child my dad wanted me to become a great player but I was no longer sure I wanted the same anymore. I mean, I was excellent at sports but there were other things that I was good at, like math for example and I didn't really want to be known as the guy who was an athlete just because he couldn't do anything else. I really wished to explore my options but I was too afraid my dad would find out and prevent me from walking my own path since he had already made plans for me way before I was even born.

I was not too worried about that right now because I still had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to do in the future and all the different ways I could break that news to my father without causing him to faint.

"I'm really tired Bri," I tried to dodge the bullet. "I just want to stay at home and watch TV."

"Oh, please," she tried to convince me. "You can do all that during the weekend. There's this new girl in our school that I want you to meet. She's so kind and pretty. I think you two will make a great couple."

Briana keeps trying to set me up with these girls even though I keep telling her that I don't want to. She says it's not natural for a horny teenage boy to not be obsessed with girls but I'm truly not that interested. I always tell her to piss off but she gets upset and we've been friends since forever so I don't want her to feel bad. I know that she means well but to be frank she can be really annoying sometimes. What's so wrong with not dating someone in high school anyways. Briana says that I should do it just for the experience even if I didn't love the person I would be in a relationship with but I don't want to start something I didn't see the future of. What would be the point of dating someone if the only reason we were together was to break up once found the one we truly liked or got bored of each other.

"Now I'm definitely not coming!" I really wanted to hang up at that moment but I didn't want to seem rude so I waited for her response.

"You have to come!" She practically jumped out through the phone. "I already told her you were gonna be here."

"What? Why would you do that?" I complained. "Regardless, that isn't my problem. I already told you that I wasn't interested in dating. I'm very busy with football and I don't have time to waste."

"No, Andrew, please." Now she changed her tone, sounding really soft and inviting. "I don't want to seem like a lair. Can't you do me one favor just this time. I never ask you for anything."

"Ugh..." I really wanted to say no but my consciousness kept telling me that I was acting like a jerk and I felt kind of guilty. "Fine but this is going to be the last time I'm doing anything for you."

"Yay!" She started celebrating.

"Who is this girl anyways?" I asked even though I wasn't really curious, I just wanted to prepare myself for the awkward conversation with her. And I also wanted to quickly and politely tell her I wasn't interested and leave as soon as possible.

"Um... I don't know much about her, if I'm being honest." Off to a fantastic start! "Her name's Violet. She just transferred to our school. But she seems really nice and she's also very beautiful."
