(Gavin K. x Dominic, Warning: strong words)

Shouting. Yelling. Arguing. That was the last thing. The last thing me and Dominic did. We haven't talked for weeks. Since the argument. We would walk past each other. I would try to talk to him, but he ignored me. Was the argument really that serious? I didn't think it was. I thought it was a friendly argument. Nothing more. Maybe it was serious.

Ringing? That's my phone. Who's calling at 12:00 AM. Not that I'm complaining or anything (probably because you stay up playing games). It's Dominic? Dominic. Dominic! I nearly dropped my phone. 'Should I answer?'. I hesitated for a bit too long and the ringing stopped. 'Shit!'. I should call him back. Unlocking my phone to go into contacts. Only for Dominic to call again. Pressing the green button. Accepting the call.

"Oh, Gavin! You answered." I hesitated to answer him. Maybe this is about the argument. Is he going to apologize? "Yea, sorry I was in a game." I lied. I lie on a daily basis. But this lie sounds real. That is actually reasonable. "Oh, should I call another time?" Thought for a split second before answering. "No, it's fine." Is this an apology or something else. There was silence for who knows how long. "I was wondering if we could talk after school." I agreed. With that he hung up.

He sent the location. 'Behind the school?' That's where the argument happened. Why there? It's 3 PM. Friday. October 14th. I'm just waiting. Few random thoughts here and there. 'Do I like Dominic?' I stopped looking through my phone. We sit on each other's laps. But we mostly joke about something's. Unless. No. No, I don't like Dominic that way. Right? "Gavin?" I turned to find Dominic there. I was freaking out on the inside. 'Calm down!'.

"Hey, Dominic." It looked like he was reading me like a book. I felt nervous. I've never felt that around Dominic before. "So, about that argument." So it was about the argument. Did he take it seriously? I didn't think it was serious. But now that I remember, it seemed serious.

-flashback-

"No! You're not!" Fisher was holding Dominic back. While C.C tried to break the argument up. "Yes, I am!" With a smug grin on my face. Of course I'm more sexy. I have that body. There was more yelling. "Fuck you, don't talk to me!" With that Dominic walked away. Fisher was surprised. C.C was worried. Connor had stopped recording which I didn't even know he was recording. I was stunned.

-end of flashback-

"Yeah, what about it?" I don't even know if I want an answer. I still remember his words. I didn't realize how serious it was until now. I barely even wanted to look him in the eyes. But I did. "Well, I wanted to apologize." So he did want to apologize. I felt this funny feeling. Like love? No, I don't like Dominic like that (stop friend zoning him!). I just nodded. I was confused on why I felt this way towards Dominic, when I only see him as a friend.

"I'm sorry for what I had said and I want to make it up to you." Make it up? As in doing something for me? We talked for a bit longer before deciding that we will meet at the caribou coffee here in Plainview. We said our goodbyes and left.
