Chapter 100: Get out
~Travis~

"Wow, Travis, you're so cool," Aubrey, my girlfriend-- I still can't get used to that--, says as we begin leaving my swim meet.

"Oh, um, thanks." I flash her a quick smile.

"So, where are you taking me for our date?" She wonders as she grabs my hand.

I blink at her for a second. "Didn't you choose to watch me swim as our date?"

"Yeah, I did but now it's your turn." She giggles like that was hilarious.

"I actually have to be home soon."

"Just check in with your dad then sneak out. Or we can just hang out at your house." She shrugs. "We've been dating for weeks and everytime I come over you never invite me inside." She lets go of my hand and stops walking. She turns and crosses her arms while pouting. "Do you not want your dad to meet me? You have been to my house a couple of times already. I'm starting to think you don't really like me? Do you not actually like me? Do you like someone else?"

Actually, I don't really like you. I only like you as an acquaintance. And, a matter of a fact, I do like someone else.

"What? That's not it, I'm just... um, kind of shy." I turn away from her.

"Aw..." She giggles. "You still get shy around me. Don't worry, I'll be really nice. Let's go." She grabs my hand again and starts dragging me to my place.

"Okay, so! What do you want to do?" Aubrey wonders as she spins in my desk chair.

"I don't know." I shrug.

"Well, what do you do around this time when I'm not here?" She stops spinning and stares at me.

I shrug again and run my hand across my bedside table bored out of my mind. "I usually just shower then go to bed." She makes a squeak noise and I look up to see her covering her nose but I see the nosebleed anyway.

My eyes widen then her eyes widen and she turns away. "Do you have any napkins?" She wonders.

"Uh... yeah." I nod slowly before walking to go get one. This is honestly insane.

As I walk back in the room to hand her the napkin, I hear a knock on my window. "Who could be knocking on your window this late at night?" Why are you still here this late at night? I open the window and Zerenity climbs in crying, she automatically hugs me before anything else. "Who's she? Is this why you never invite me over? Because you have girls sneaking in your window left and right?"

Zerenity turns to look at her before wiping her tears and letting go of me. "Oh, um, hi. I'm Zerenity, Travis' friend. Sorry, I didn't know you were over. I don't usually come this late, it's just-- " She wipes her tears again. "Um... ... ... ... ...Is your nose okay?"

"It's fine." Aubrey crosses her arms. "I'm Aubrey, Travis' girlfriend. I'm sure he's told you about me."

Zerenity looks at me and I silently beg her to go along with it because I do not want to hear her whine about 'me not liking her enough'. "Oh, uh, yeah. He literally won't stop talking about you."

"I knew it! We're in love!" She squeals and hugs me so tight I can't breathe. "Anyway, you have to leave, you're getting in between our girlfriend/boyfriend time. It may one day become wife and husband time."

"Wait, but I need to--"

"If you had a boyfriend, would you want another girl interrupting the time you spend with him?"
