I watched with horror as my friend Mandy and her boyfriend Dylan sucked each other's faces. Eeew! I turned to my best friend Xavier to say something only to find him doing the same with his bitchy girlfriend Amy.
Great.
"Guys!", I finally interrupted when no one seemed to stop their PDA,"We are in the school cafeteria, not a bedroom! Have some shame!"
The two couples pulled away reluctantly while Xavier muttered,"Killjoy."
"Just have your damn food!", I said."You guys haven't eaten anything yet."
"Ethan, why don't you just get a boyfriend? Then you'll see how it feels to be in a relationship", Mandy said. Here comes the topic.
"Yeah Ethan, live a life! Sometimes I worry about you", Xavier said with amusement.
"I don't have time for shitty things like that", I retorted, acting nonchalant. But the truth was, no one had ever asked me out nor had I asked anyone. My parents were divorced and this only added to my fear of relationships. And I had never come across a boy of my type. Actually, I don't even know what my type is.
"Coward", Mandy said. I narrowed my eyes.
"Pussy", Amy teased. I glared at her. Bitch.
"Pathetic", Dylan taunted. What?! Just because I never had a boyfriend didn't mean I was pathetic!
I glanced at Xavier to see if he would tease me too. When he didn't, I felt relieved - Only for a second.
"Wimp", Xavier smirked. Traitor! That was it. Enough was enough. Even my best friend wanted me to lose my "single" status. Fine!
"That's it!", I stood up."I'm gonna find someone and prove it to you that I'm not a coward, a pussy, pathetic or -" I glared at Xavier "- a wimp! Even I can have a boyfriend and I'm gonna show it to all of you before Christmas!"
Four pair of eyes looked up at me with shock and amusement. Mandy broke into a grin and clapped her hands gleefully,"That's great!"
It was when lunch break ended that I realised what shit I had got myself into.
Was I finally going to break my "single" image? Was I finally going to get a boyfriend? The word sounded so new and foreign in my mouth.
Well, I couldn't back down. I will not back down!
I'll show the world that even I, Ethan Ezekiel, could have a freaking boyfriend.
