sounding like he didn’t believe me. God forbid anyone else be attracted to me. I guess I was more than lucky these past couple of months with two guys showing their interests in me. Even if James couldn’t believe someone else was actually interested in me.
    “Like, we’re both funny, and nice and we’re both cute!” I explained acidly, with a bitter smile.
    James’ nostrils flared. “Oh so you think he’s cute now?”
    “Just told you that, didn’t you hear?” I slurred, holding the vanity tighter as my body began to sway slowly to the left. “Besides, why the hell are you interrogating me, you’re the guilty one!”
    “Me?” James eyes widened, surprised.
    The nerve!
    “Yeah, you!” I snapped. “First, you danced with Donna, slow dancing!”
    “Oh, you caught that.” He said smugly, side smiling like he was so smart.
    He wasn’t!
    “I’m not blind, asshole!” I hissed. “You kissed her in front of everyone!”
    “Yeah, so I did. I’m allowed to.” He stated arrogantly.
    He was allowed to?
    I blinked at him, a little stunned. Hearing him finally say how he really saw our relationship left me bewildered. Why couldn’t he be this honest from the beginning, then maybe, I wouldn’t be here, slightly depressed from his mind screw.
    “Then what the hell am I doing locked in a bathroom with you?” I asked him quietly, slowly.
    Silence
    “Why did you push me in here?” I continued quietly.
    Silence
    All of a sudden, James pushed off the door and stood in front of me, staring down. “Let me take you out tomorrow.”
    “What?” I jerked my head back.
    He grabbed my shoulders. “Tomorrow, we’re going out!”
    “No, we’re not!” I yanked my shoulders out of his grasp.
    He grabbed me again. “Yes, we are!”
    “No we’re not, I’m not interested!” I snapped, struggling to break free. Not that I was trying that hard to break free, considering I was still drunk.
    “We’re going!” He declared again.
    I gave up trying to break free of him and leaned back against the vanity. “Why don’t you go out with Donna tomorrow instead, I’m sure she’d love to go out with you!”
    “Donna?” He jerked his chin back, looking confused.
    “You made out with her in front of everyone!” I yelled, astonished at his confusion. Was he playing with me right now? Pretending he had no idea what I was talking about. 
    “She kissed me!” His eyes widened.
    “And you didn’t pull back!” I kept going.
    “Stop it, it wasn’t like that!” He let go of my shoulders and stood back.
    “Then how was it?” I crossed my arms, tilting my head to the side.
    “It just happened. She’s been all over me tonight, what was I supposed to do?” He exclaimed, like he had no other option but to concede to her.
    “I don’t know, and I don’t care.” I snipped, looking away.
    “You’re a liar, you care.” He sneered.
    I gazed back at him. “I don’t.”
    “You do, otherwise you wouldn’t be this upset.”
    “Whatever.” I murmured, rolling my eyes.
    Silence
    “You like this Dean guy now?” He said all of a sudden.
    “Why do you care?” I murmured, not looking at him.
    “Answer me?” He ordered, grabbing my chin delicately, tilting it upwards so I was looking at him again.
    “I barely know him.” I answered, lifelessly.
    “Then go out with me tomorrow.” He breathed, relieved.
    “Why?” I asked, skeptically.
    “I told you why.” He exclaimed, clearly frustrated by the grit of his teeth.
    I jerked my chin back. When?
    “You really don’t like Donna?” I asked, slowly.
    “If I wanted her do you think I’d be in here with you now?” James explained. “And besides whatever that girl’s offering, trust me, I could have had it a hundred times till now.”
    “Gross.” I cringed, leaning away as a reflex but he gripped me firmer, stopping me.
    He leaned in, looking deep into my eyes. “I didn’t though, that should count for something, right?”
    “You didn’t call me for two
