"No."
He paused, his eyes narrowing as he eyed me. "No?"
"No."
His face fell and I bit my lip. "It took a lot of nerves to ask you out, and you reject me like that. Can I know why, or?"
"I just... Our last 'date' was a fail, don't you agree?"
His eyes darkened. "It was, but I promise that won't happen again. No more ice skating."
"We didn't even ice skate," I reminded him.
"I know. But maybe for this one we could go to dinner or something."
I pondered this. "Harry, do you really want a date or do you want an excuse to get in my pants?"
He tensed. "I'm not like that, not with you."
"You had sex with Autumn less than three days ago."
He sighed, and I shook my head and walked away. I hadn't gotten far before his hand was on my elbow. He still held me there, despite the fact that I hadn't harmed myself in a while.
"Brenna, please."
"Let go of me, Harry."
He let go and I kept walking. I did want to say yes, but I couldn't bring myself to it.
"Come on. It took a lot of nerve to ask you out."
I stilled, slowing my steps. He noticed, and kept talking. "I'm being serious. I phoned my mum and asked her for advice. I haven't phoned my mum for girl advice. Ever."
He had me. My lips curled upwards as I turned to him, a blush on my cheeks. "You told your mum about me?"
He rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, um... Sorry."
"Don't be."
"Brenna?"
"Harry?"
"Go out with me?"
"Alright, fine."
His eyes lit up. "You're being serious?"
I nodded. "When and where?"
"Tomorrow night?" A Friday night date. Classic college style dates.
"Alright, what time?"
"Be ready by seven, I'll pick you up."
"Alright," I said, a smile tugging at my lips. "It's a date."

"I don't know, Brenzie, it seems dodgy." Dan sighed. He wasn't making an effort to get off of my bed.
"I know. I'm hoping it'll go fine..." I said, my voice wavering.
"What if it doesn't, Brenna? Will you go running back to him again?" Dan was unimpressed.
"You were all for this when I told you a few days ago." I accused.
"I know, I still am. He is a fine piece of ass. I just don't want you to get hurt again, sweetheart."
I sat next to Dan, placing a kiss on his cheek. "I won't get hurt," I was trying to convince myself, too.
"I did karate for twelve years, and boxing for four. If that bastard hurts you again then I swear..."
I laughed. "You did boxing and karate?"
"Yes. Don't give me crap, because I got my child black belt, junior black belt and my adult black belt during those twelve years."
