“Oh, please.” Veronica waves her hand. “He wouldn’t even blink an eye.”
“Gee, thanks.”
“No.” She shakes her head, reaching for my arm. “Not because of you. Oscar is just … he’s Oscar. You know that.”
“Exactly! Why did I ever tell him I’d go with him?”
“Because you were ticked off at McFanboy,” Cindy says.
“Why are you so mad, anyways?” Veronica asks. “I mean, yeah, he got a little territorial, but, that’s kind of hot, don’t you think? Like, he wants you all to his own.”
I bite my bottom lip. I didn’t tell them about the make-out session in the costume closet yesterday, but I know that’s exactly why I’m so mad. Because everything I’ve been feeling over that past few weeks seemed to come to a crescendo yesterday. I know exactly how I feel and now I can’t do anything to change things.
“Just tell Oscar you changed your mind and tell Matt how you feel,” Cindy says.
“Yeah, like it’s that easy,” I scoff. “Like I can just walk up to Matt and say, ‘Hey, I know I was mad at you yesterday, and I told another guy I’d go to prom with him, but I really want to go with you. I should’ve never given you an ultimatum or told you how to live your life. Oh, and sorry for slapping you across the face. So, what do you say, want to go to prom? Oh, by the way, I’m kind of falling for you’.”
Veronica laughs. “Iz, you’re being way too dramat—wait a minute. What’d you just say?”
My gaze bounces from her, then to Cindy, then down at the table.
“Izzy, are you serious?” Cindy asks.
I nod, looking back up at them. “I’m falling for him. Hard.”
