Santiago and I went to a local coffee shop after school. I know it was way past morning time but I was in the mood for a iced coffee and a bagel. Santiago just tolerated me and took me there anyways.

"So what happened between you and your ex?",I said as we find a spot outside to sit. It was nice outside and there wasn't that much of a breeze out.

"I rather not discuss that."

"That's not fair. I told you about my ex",i whined.

"True. Marisol was a beautiful girl, she was smart but acted in the dumbest ways possible. She's Puerto Rican came from a nice family."

"Sounds like she was perfect for you."

"Nah she had her flaws. She had loyalty problems, she cheated on me more than once. I have a lot of patience so I gave her another chance but she blew that too and cheated on me with my homie Juan."

"Ouch I'm sorry that happened. You won't have to worry about me doing that cause I don't have that trait in me",i said. He looked at me and smiled.

"I know I won't. Since the day I met you I knew you wasn't that type",he said.

"Question."

"Shoot",he said laying back.

"Do you think this is gonna be a forever thing? Cause I don't want to waste my time. Some people get in a relationship just cause. I've been there done that and I'm grown now and so are you I hope."

He chuckled.

"I'll be honest and say this isn't a game to me and there's a reason I pursued you. I don't know if it'll turn into us being together long term in the future but I know I'm not playing around."

"It's just that. Your the 'cool kid' around campus and it just feels like high school all over again to me."

"You got a problem with me being well-known around campus?",he said smiling.

"Popularity comes with a lot of stuff that I'm not trying to deal with."

"If it's the girls, you wont have to worry about that. If it's drama, I'll dead that. Whatever you want, you got it babygirl."

"Okay cool",i said smiling and admiring the trees. After our coffee date, he dropped me home and I was in my room thinking. I changed into a tank and sweatpants and put on my soft fuzzy socks. I'm not a big fan of walking around the house with my bare feet even though we had carpet. As I laid on my bed, I just felt weird. Although I had a guy that's willing to treat me like I'm his world, I still wasn't entirely happy. Only because I was now missing trey. Was it trey I was missing or my position as a sidechick?
