but, this is awkward, but do you think, and seriously you can say no...”
He trailed off, but I could see where he was going. “I don’t really think I can date anyone right now,” I said.
“I’m, like—” He cut in. “Well, now it’s super awkward. I was gonna ask if you think Daisy would go out with me, or if that’s crazy.
I mean, you’re great, Aza...” I knew Mychal well enough not to actually die of mortification, but only just.
“Yes,” I said. “Yes. That is a great idea. But you should just talk to her about it, not me.
But yes. By all means, ask her out. I am embarrassed. This has been an embarrassment.
You should ask out Daisy. I am going to stand up and exit the conversation now with whatever self-respect I still have.
“I’m really sorry,” he said as I stood up and backed away. “I mean, you’re beautiful, Aza. It’s not that.”
“No,” I said. “No. Say nothing more. It’s definitely my bad. I’m just... I’m gonna go now. Do ask out Daisy.”
Mercifully, a beep rang out from above, allowing me to scamper off to biology class. Our teacher was late, so everyone was talking.
I hunched down in my seat and immediately texted Daisy. Me: I thought Mychal was asking me out so I tried to let him down easy
but he was not asking me out. He was asking me if I would ask you out FOR HIM. Humiliation level—all-time high.
