3-Operation set aside the girl
Nick's pov
Ugh, my head hurts. What happened? Did I get drunk again? Ugh, why did I do that? The coach will be mad at me.
Huh, I'm in my room? Who brought me back home? Eh, probably one of the guys.
Sh*t, what kind of things did I do yesterday? Let me check my phone. Hmm ok, there's no
notifications about some crazy sh*t I did yesterday.
Oh, crap! I forgot it's Thursday today! Crap, I have to get dressed now or else I'll be late!
I swear who had the bright idea to do parties on weekdays? It really has to stop. Now I have to make sure no one notices I'm hungover. I can't risk it.
It's ok to drink at parties but not enough to get drunk, especially not me. I can't afford that I'm the captain of the team.
Argh, I can't seem to remember what happened yesterday. I know the guys pissed me off and I drank a lot because of it but I can't remember anything after.
Something tells me...I did something through, something important. I can't grasp what it is. I guess I'll figure it out at school!
——————-
"Hey"
"Sh*t, you look dead. What happened to you?"
"He got sh*t-faced drunk, that's what happened."
"Huh, how do you know?"
"He passed out and I took him home." Aw, I knew Dom is considered of others.
"Thanks for that."
"Yeah but what made you drink that much?"
"Yeah, you already know you're not allowed to get drunk like that. Thankfully you didn't do any bad things."
"What kind of bad things?"
"Get into a fight, hook up with someone. Those kids of things."
"Oh thank god. I wasn't sure if I did or not. The coach can't hear about it."
"He won't I made sure of that. Luckily nobody filmed you completely passed out. By the way, why were you in a room?" Dom asks.
"I don't know man. I can't remember a single thing."
"Strange. You sure you didn't do anything we don't know about?"
"No? Look I really don't remember anything. I remember coming to the party, chanting with Yung and that's it."
"Really?" Myung says surprised.
"Yeah"
"Damn, you must have gotten deeply wasted for you to not remember anything," Aaron says in astonishment.
"Yeah...I guess I did."
"Sh*t, Nick you're screwed. You know that the coach said we can't drink too much. We have to be in top shape or else it'll screw up our performance." Myung says.
Well, I'm surprised he said that. He usually stays all quiet. It must be really bad if he dares to say that.
"Yeah, you're lucky I found you passed out drunk and brought you safely back to your house." So, it was Dom who brought me back?
"Don't do that again. Dom can't have your back all the time." Ugh, look at Aaron being concerned, as if he is.
"Yeah, I won't. Can someone tell me why we go to parties on weekdays?"
"I don't know, it's the tradition. We can't really refuse." Dom says.
"It doesn't help."
"We wouldn't have those after-parties if we wouldn't win all the time!" Aaron says all proudly.
"And if we play on weekdays, it's the school's board fault," Myung says.
"Still, isn't it unwise to party on weekdays? We have to keep our grades in check." I say.
"As if you care about your grades." Dom rolls his eyes.
"I agree but it's not like we can say no." You can't, I can.
"You sure it's not because you like partying Leo?"
"Well yeah but...Ugh, stop trapping me like that!" We all laugh except Leo.
"We should get to class."
"You arrived pretty late. Surprised you made it."
"Of course, I would've made it. Ain't no way I'm late at school. Can't risk my rep with the teachers."
"Teacher pleaser." I roll my eyes.
"Let's go!"
We all grab our things and we separate ourselves because of our different class directions.

I knew something was wrong after yesterday! Ever since classes started, I kept having flashbacks of me kissing someone! I don't know who it is through. All I know it's that I loved the kiss.
Typically, I don't enjoy kissing all that much because...boys... Nah, it's impossible! I can't have kissed a boy! I wouldn't dare do such a thing when I'm drunk. I've never done it before!
Now, I need to figure out who I kissed. It's not like I can ask my friends. They don't know what I did yesterday but what Dominic said... He mentioned that I was in a room, so...I got myself some privacy. Hmm, there must have been a reason why I did that.
I don't think I hooked up. I don't feel like I did it nor do I see marks on me. Ugh, I really want to know who I kissed! I never do that when I'm drunk! What pushed me to do that!?
As if on cue, I notice Ezra. Hm...Ezra..it rings a bell, maybe I...Wait, that's it! If I liked the kiss, it's because it was a guy. The only guy I like is Ezra!
But...how could Ezra let me do that? I don't get it. He hates me. How did he let me do it? It doesn't seem like he remembers anything. Maybe he got drunk too?
He hasn't tried to talk to me nor made eye contact with me, so, that's not it. Is he really pretending nothing happened?
"Nickolas!"
"Huh, what?!" The hell? Who dares to yell at me like that?
"Ugh, I've been trying to call you 10 times at least. What is on your mind that's more important than me?" Leo asks. Ugh, Leo what does he want?
"Nothing just thinking."
"Thinking about what exactly? You kept looking at Ezra. Are you planning to do something to him?" If only he knew the things I really wanted to do to him.
"No...it's nothing important. What do you want Leo?"
"Did you really break up with Livia?"
Why is he asking me that all of a sudden and even more so when we are alone?
"Huh? Why are you asking me that?"
"She refuses to talk to me..so I'm trying to figure out why." He says slightly embarrassed.
"We aren't together if that's what you're asking." We never were in a relationship to begin with lol.
"Ok...but why isn't she talking to me?" Maybe because she still likes me and not you?
"Maybe because she's going through a breakup?"
"Yeah...makes sense...but why did she hook up instantly after breaking up with you?" Because she wanted to get revenge on me.
"Revenge? I don't know dude. Don't ask me. Ask her."
"But she won't answer my calls."
"I have nothing to do with her. You sure this wasn't a one-time thing?"
"Well, it was but...I want to make it more than that."
Gosh, Leo is so pathetic. Why choose Livia of all girls?
"Then, you'll have to wait."
"Why?! You two broke up, she hooked up with me, it only makes sense to date her!"
"That's just not how things work."
"Yes, it does. Do you still like her.?" I burst out laughing.
"Wah, why are you laughing? What's funny?" I finally stop laughing.
"Eh, it's nothing, I don't like her like at all."
"Huh? Did you even love her?!"
"Well.." Might as well dare to be honest right?
"Be honest with me!"
"No, I didn't."
"So, you're the one who played her!" How could he come up with such a conclusion? Damn, she's the one that plays guys lol.
"Nah, I was never with her in the first place."
"What?! It doesn't make any sense?! You just said you broke up with her."
"Well, I lied to you. I never dated her."
"What?! Why did you lie to me?!"
"Because it was better to say that. Everyone thought we were dating regardless."
"Wow...I can't believe it...then what was the deal with you two?"
"I can't say. Ask her. If she wants she'll tell you."
"I doubt so. Dude that's a big deal! You have to tell the others!"
"Nah, I don't want to. Keep it between you and me. I'm only helping you."
"But...why just me?"
"Because the others won't take it as lightly."
"Makes sense...I swear you two really looked like a couple!"
"She made you all believe that. I only played on her act."
"Wow...I can't believe that...now it really doesn't any sense why she isn't talking to me..." Dumbass, she still likes me. She doesn't love you.
"Eh, you'll see for yourself. Hope the best of luck."
"Thanks, I'll need it."
"Sure"
—————-
It's been a few days since I got sh*t-faced drunk. Not a lot has changed. It's pretty much confirmed that I kissed Ezra. I remember all of it.
I still can't believe I did that! I don't get how he manages to pretend nothing happened! I really want those things to change but I can't.
Those memories of kissing him make me go mad! I can't help but want more. I'm so sexually deprived it's ridiculous. It's not like I can change anything really.
I really don't want to shrew with a girl but it's not like I can shrew Ezra either. I don't think I'll have the chance to talk to him again. He hates me. I get why.
The guys still give him crap and technically I'm still a part of the ones that give him a hard time.
Apart from all my sexual turmoil, things are different. Leo has yet to make any progress really with Livia. That makes me remember that she hasn't hung out with us yet. She might actually regret hooking up with Leo or better yet still scared of me. Oh! That's the answer I prefer. I'll hold on to that.
As I think a lot, class is about to finally end and then I'll get to sit with the guys even if they aren't my favourite choice.
I wait a few more minutes and then the class is finally over.
I get off and join the guys.
"Gosh, English sucked big time." Aaron groans.
"Yeah, and I was in Chemistry that's about as worse!" Leo yells out frustrated.
"Through I'd say arts class sucks the most cause none of you guys are there," I mention.
"Oh, yeah, how was poor art?"
"Hell"
"Wow, now I feel almost bad."
"Now guys stop talking about classes. Let's talk about girls!" Aaron says excited.
"I guess we can do since Syd and Maryka aren't there right now."
"Yeah, Girls are the best!"
"You mean the girls, cover up your work?" Dominic adds and Aaron glares at him.
"And we're back on the topic of school." I laugh.
"Dude we're supposed to be talking about girls!"
"Well if I must add, I can't wait to get Livia under me." Leo smiles.
"Damn, bro. Lovestruck now?"
"Who's lovestruck?" Suddenly the devil appeared herself, Livia.
"Oh, uh we were talking about some guys' stuff, yeah guys' stuff!" Leo fumbles upon his words. We all try to not laugh. While we do Livia glares at me.
"Ok so do you guys got any room for me?"
"You're not a guy Liv."
"Still I'm curious." She dares to sit on me. The guys don't look that faced but Leo isn't happy about it.
"Yo get off." She glares at me.
"Why should I? You're comfortable."
"Go sit on Leo I'm sure he'd love it!"
Aaron yells out. Leo glares ever so slightly. Livia glares but listens to Aaron. Leo is cut off guard but he smiles. I just know she's doing this to get revenge or to get on my nerves.
"So, where are we?"
"Girls"
"I thought this was a conversation about guys' stuff?"
"He lied." Livia frowns at Leo but doesn't comment on it.
"So as I was saying girls are the best! They do everything for you!"
"Sure girls are amazing Aaron." Dominic rolls his eyes.
"Eh yo, don't pretend you don't have a girlfriend!"
"Unlike you, I don't share everything about my girl." Oh gosh, he called Maryka his girl? That's so unlike Dom.
"Oh shut up Collymore. Pretend all you want but you and Maryka are hot together!"
They go on and on this conversation for break time while Livia is still busy glaring at me like she plans to murder me in my sleep.
—————-
It's been a few days and unfortunately, last time wasn't a one-time thing, Livia started hanging out with us. She tried to make some advances on me again but I stopped her. If she doesn't stop I'll have to give her a little chat.
"Hey, guys!"
"Yeah?"
"You know how it was my birthday the other day?" Oh yeah forgot to mention it was Leo's birthday the other day.
"Yeah?"
"Sense it's Friday today and there's no game this afternoon, I thought of throwing a birthday party at my house!"
"Yeah! That will be awesome."
"That's not all. I found out the other day that it's Livia's birthday today too!" She smiles.
Eh, that must be why she's here right now. I never knew it was her birthday.
"We talked about it and we decided tonight we are not only celebrating me but Livia too!" Surprised she agreed. I guess he really did make some progress.
"F**k yeah, we are definitely doing that."
"It's your birthday today?"
"Yeah, I'm turning 18."
"18! We have to make this extra special."
"You have a pool in your house right Leo?" How does Aaron not know that?
"Yeah, I do. We are definitely swimming tonight!"
"The good thing it's that the temperature and weather are perfect for that today, despite the fact it's the end of February."
"It'll only get hotter from onwards."
"Definitely"
"Invite everyone you know!"
"We will."
"Now we only have to finish this stupid school day."
"Yeah.."
—————-
It's already dark outside but I'm already at Leo's house. His house really is a mansion unlike me. The guy is rich for sure.
He has everything. His house is perfect for tonight. What is even better is that turns out his parents are off on a trip for the weekend. The f**ker. I wish my parents did that.
His house is pretty much isolated from the rest of the houses so we won't have the cops calling on us. There's a bit of a chill outside but it's fine. It's perfect to go swimming.
I get inside and most of the guys are already there. I guess everyone had the memo this is a pool party because they are all wearing their swim trunks and the girls are wearing bikinis. They are rather provocating. Thank goodness I like guys.
Even if it's that, I think the girls are doing it on purpose. They hope I'll want to get a piece of them tonight. Jokes on them I don't even like girls. I like dicks not pussies.
The only girls that are wearing more appropriate bikinis are Maryka and Sydney. It makes sense. They aren't looking to get themselves a boyfriend and besides they are both kind of nerds so they don't like it all that much. Surprised they came. They came for Dominic and Aaron of course.
"Nick! Come here!" I come closer to them.
"Here"
"So is everyone here yet?"
"Yeah, I think so."
I just noticed Leo is wearing a sort of birthday hat on his head and Livia is wearing a crown. Just like the damn princess, she is. More like a drama queen.
"Tonight we'll have fun!"
"Of course, you say that, you've been waiting for this moment since my birthday." I can still picture a winning Leo at Dom's 18th birthday party a month ago.
"Aw come on don't ruin the fun Dom!"
"Says the one that ruined my fun at my party."
"Sure I didn't." Dominic looks at him unamused.
"Ok, you guys are ready to party?"
"Yes!" We all say in unison.
"Say it louder!"
"Yes," We all say in unison louder.
"Great now let's go."
———————
We all got drunk, it seems like. We've been busy the last few hours swimming, doing swimming competitions and of course drinking.
Despite girls kept being close to me I had fun. Although who had the most fun has to be Leo. Livia and he kissed. Everyone saw them. I doubt she genuinely likes him. I think she's only looking to make me jealous. It doesn't work. By that, I mean she'll really be a part of our gang even if I don't want her around.
Anyways, Leo is lucky enough to get to kiss her, I'll never be able to kiss who I want...Ezra...Oh dear, he's always on my mind...He was on my mind all evening long.
Ever since last week I can't help but think about him. What would it look like if my friends weren't homophobic assholes and Ezra was a part of us? I wish it could turn out to be true but I know for a fact that it'll never happen. It's only a selfish fantasy of mine. I'll get over it...
