“You’re back. What a surprise!â€? James joked the next day as Trey led me down the alleyway.

I glared and told him, “Well, I figured I’d skip out on work or something.â€? He noticed the false note in my voice, laughing.

“He took your cell phone, I bet.â€?

“Shut up!â€? I turned to Trey and he handed my phone back. “You both are jerks, you know that, right?â€?

“Oh we know; I’m just wondering why you would date a jerk like him.â€? I was silent. I was not about to tell this guy how Trey made me feel when we were together. He would most likely laugh in my face and think about how Trey is completely different from that. But that’s the thing; Trey is a completely different person when he’s around James and I just don’t understand it.

“Don’t talk to me, James.â€? Was all I could think of.

“There’s no one else to bother because Trey is working.â€?

“Working?â€?

“Yeah, he’s paying off a little debt by helping me out around here. But the secret is, my little favor I need is you.â€? Say, what? He laughed at my expression.
