Dez Point Of View

"A-Austin-" I get cut off by an enthusiastic laugh.

"Whoa! You're a hybrid! I thought those weren't real! Ahaha" Austin gushes

"You don't...hate me?" I ask curiously.

Austin looks at me like I have six heads, "Why would I?"

"Because..."

Austin doesn't seem to get what I am getting at. Ugh. I knew he would be rather dense idiot.

"Cause I'm part cat, dumbass!" I shouted at him and realization consumes his face.

"Oh!" He laughs but I could hear some pain behind it. I don't think Austin is happy as he acts out to be.

" Anyway, I don't hate you. I think your really nice and a good person to be around!" Austin says excitedly, then checks his phone and frowns, "Well, maybe we can hang out again tomorrow?"

"I have to work" I say flatly, not wanting to hang out with the annoying, yet sexy, idiot. But... Why would he want to hang out with me? I.. I should be grateful that he didn't call some scientist to run experiments on me. I guess keeping him at arms-length is okay.

I then ask, "how about Wednesday?"

"Sorry, that isn't a good day for me" Austin says

"Why?" I ask, being nosy.

Austin smiles and pets my ears, "No reason, cat boy"

I pout, "Hey!"

"Well, I've got to go! Bye cat boy!" Austin says and sprints out the door.

Austin is.... I can't really explain it. He seems so happy but you can see the hints that he is struggling. The pain in his eyes, his awkward rubbing against his arm, and his silent laughs and little frowns. He thinks no one sees them but I do. I really hope he isn't sad because he shouldn't be sad. Austin doesn't look good sad.

I hope I can figure him out but if he doesn't tell me, I'll figure it out on my own.

I'm sure of it.
