DRAKE
"You are really a magnet when it comes to girls."
I smirk. "Easy peasy."
Brian nudges me. "What do I need to do to get one?"
"I don't know. I don't really exert effort."
"Ah, now's not the time to be selfish," Dwayne says.
I roll my eyes. "Dude, just pretend you have more important things to do when you're around them."
They look at me dubiously.
"Don't be too interested," I explain. "They get annoyed when you don't give them your full attention."
"So?"
"So they will do anything to grab yours," I say obviously.
Andre walks in and sits on the chair beside me. "What, is this Dating 101?"
"Apparently, the basketball team don't know how to get a girl."
"Says the captain," Jake mutters.
"Used to," I correct.
"Tell me honestly," Andre says, "how many girls have you slept with?"
"Don't be stupid," I say. "I still remember our pact when we were in middle school."
"No lying, man."
"Do you seriously think I'm lying?" I say, hitting him at the back of his head.
"What's that pact?" Jake asks.
"Nothing," Andre and I say simultaneously.
While we're talking about Jake's party for tonight, one of the cheerleaders walks to our table. I remember her cheering for us when I was in the basketball team.
She raises her eyebrows at me and I smile at her. She probably takes it a sign, so she sits on my lap.
There's still space beside me, but I'm not going to complain.
"See?" Dwayne mutters. "A magnet."
They continue to talk, but I can't follow their conversation because I get distracted with the girl on my lap.
"Babe, let's meet later after school?" what's her name again whispers in my ears.
"Are you going to the party?"
"Yes," she says, squeezing my knee.
"Whoa," I mutter.
She winks at me and stands up. "I'll see you later." She blows me a kiss and walks out of the cafeteria.
"What was that?" Brian asks.
I shrug.
"A girl sat on your lap, and you don't even know her?"
