Operation Friendzoned (Cashby & Kellic)

Six

Alan's POV

I was a little bitter that I had to go tutor Kellin today. I wasn't really in the mood to deal with him or anyone. I was just kinda tired and I wanted to, I guess talk with Austin all day. Ever since I got his number we've been text each other non stop. I loved every minute of that.

"Hey Kells," I said as soon as I saw him in the library.

He lifted his head in response and looked back down.

"Are you okay?" I asked, sitting down beside him. 

"Yeah, so uh, what are we working on?" He asked quietly.

"What's going on?" 

"Nothing, really it's okay," Kellin said.

"Seriously?" 

"Yeah," he said, his voice getting higher.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Is it Vic or your parents or something?" I asked.

"Don't worry about it," he sighed. "It's seriously just stupid crap."

"Well if you ever want to talk."

He gave me a weak smile. "Thanks. Uh, it's kind of a mixture of things. There's some guy problems and some Vic issues. But it's nothing for you to worry about."

"If you want to talk we can."

"I'll keep that in mind."

I smiled at him, "How about we do some basic math today or something?" I offered as my phone buzz.

"Sounds good," he said, resting his chin on his arms.

"Okay." I told him and looked at my phone when it buzzed again.

"Go ahead and answer it," Kellin mumbled.

I nodded and sent him an apologetic glance before answering my phone.

"Hi Austin," I said with a smile.

"Hey Cutie." He said, "What are you up to this Saturday?"

"Uh nothing. Why?"

"Wanna go on a date?"

My face went red, "Really?"

"Yeah, really."

"I'd love that."

"Great!"

"What day?"

"Crap, I didn't think about when, uh, Saturday?"

"Yeah, that would be amazing. Is like 2 o'clock okay? I have stuff later in the evening."

"Sounds perfect. What are you doing right now?"

"I'm tutoring Kellin." I said, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, tell him I said hi! And I'm reading a comic book."

"Kellin, Austin said hi."

Kellin smiled. "Tell my dear fiance that he can keep the ring," he said softly. "You're ten times better for him anyway."

"Look Aust, I have to go. I'll text you later?"

"Oh uh alright, text you later. By the way, Aust, that's a cute nickname."

"Thanks."  I blushed, "Bye.'

"Bye," he said before hanging up.

I set my phone down, "You okay?"
