"No"

"Why not?" Brian asks

"He obviously doesn't want to be with me right now."

"Jonathan is so retarded..." Tyler mumbles. I sigh.

"What do you guys wanna do?" I ask, trying to change the subject

"Find Jon." Marcel says

"No, leave him alone... with Sydney." I mutter. I'm trying not to have an episode here.

"Evan, don't just let him leave you." Luke tells me

" I don't care."

"He'll come back." Criag reminds me

"I know he will. I just... wish he didn't leave in the first place..." I mumble. Everyone's expression changes.

Arlan's "friend" walks over to the table.

"What do you want?" Brian asks

"Good morning Evan." He ignores. I don't respond. I take a deep breath, and fake a small smile.

"Hello"

"Can I talk to you privately?" He asks

I inhale, "Um. Sure." I unfold my legs and I follow him to a wall nearby.

"Evan, I know you have to have some feelings towards me."

"No, i'm sorry, I don't."

"Who else could have your heart?" He asks desperately

"I-I can't really say."

"It's Jonathan, isn't it? I saw the picture of you guys kissing in the hall, and you guys have been friends ever since I saw you for the first time. I just don't understand what he has that I don't."

I look over at the table and see everyone yelling at Jon. Sh*t. I make eye contact with them and quickly turn my head back to the person in front of me.

"Me and Jonathan are not dating." I tell him

"But he's stealing you from me."

"I...He's...He's my best friend." I swallow hard

"Are you sure he's not more than that?" He pries. I hesitate.

"N-No. He's...He's just my best friend." I say sadly. Only a best friend...

"Have you kissed him again?"

"...Um...n-no..." Lying again

"Are you sure, Evan?" Panic panic panic. My breathing picks up.

"I gotta go." I mumble. I try to walk away but he grabs my arm.

"Don't lie to me." He demands. I try to pull away but he won't let go.

"Let go!" I plea

"Don't f*cking lie to me!" I'm breathing uncontrollably.

"Please!" I'm on the verge of tears. I'm so scared.

"Have. You. Kissed. Him. Again?" He pries. I can't speak. I can't tell if i'm breathing or not. All of a sudden I feel arms being wrapped around my shoulders. I get pulled back and he lets go of my arm. I look up and see Tyler.

"F*ck off." Tyler tells him and he scurries away. He turns me to face him.

"Hey, it's me, calm down. You're okay." Tyler reassures me. My breathing slows down and I close my eyes. I take a deep breath and open them again.

"I'm fine." I tell him. He gives me an unsure look and takes me back to the table. I sit down next to Jonathan.

"What did Sydney say?" I ask Jon
