Chapter Five: Worth It
Alexander
"What's got you looking so pissy?" Colton asks.
"I'm not pissy." I respond. "I'm thinking."
"About?" He presses.
"Nothing."
"Are you thinking about Alice?"
I glance at him. "No."
"Well then what are you thinking about?" I blow a breath from my lips. "Come on bro, confide in your best friend. With two geniuses confiding in each other, we're bound to find a solution."
"How do you know there's a problem?" I ask.
"Lucky guess." He slaps my leg. "What's up man?"
I sigh slowly and sit up.
"I met a girl."
"You meet girls all the time." He responds. I walk to my kitchen and grab a beer. He follows.
"This one is different." I say. His eyebrows raise.
"She's...a girl. Wait, you want to date her?"
I just look at him.
"I've had a lot of crushes in the past, Colt, but this girl makes my head spin. This girl, she's not just a girl to me."
"So what's the problem? Ask her out!"
I pop the lid off my beer bottle and look at him.
"The problem? She hates my fucking guts. That's the problem."
His face falls. "Why? What did you do?"
"I might have possibly flirted with her in front of her whole class."
"Who, hold the bus!" He puts his hands up. "She's your coworker?"
"Yes! It's messy dude, it's messy."
"How old is this girl? Do you know her name?
"I don't know how old she is but she's my age for sure and her name is Rosabelle."
"Rosabelle." He repeats. "She sounds sexy. Pull up a picture."
A picture?
I sit down on the couch with my beer between my legs and pull my phone from my pocket.
I open instagram and type in Rosabelle Caldwell
She's the first one to pop up. I click on her account and almost groan.
"She's private." I mutter. Colton snatches my phone from my hand, taps the screen, and hands it back.
The blue follow button is now white with the word requested in the box.
