Ava

I sat in the passenger seat beside Myron, thinking over the strange evening I’d just experienced. I wanted to follow Carter from the room when he’d stormed off. I had actually started to rise to do so, but then I’d felt a restraining hand on my arm. I’d looked over and seen Myron looking at me with a stern expression. He shook his head, almost imperceptibly, and I’d sat back down.

He’d stared at me with a fixed expression for what felt like an eternity before addressing the table, who was in animated discussion over Carter’s behavior. Olivia was acting as though she were shocked by it all. "Please excuse us," Myron said then. He had risen and pulled out my chair for me.

I assumed that he just didn’t want to lose face in front of everyone, though why he should care about losing it in front of these strangers I couldn’t understand. But he was supposed to be my boyfriend; how would it look if I ran off without him? I decided I could at least let him save face if that’s what he wanted. I would find Carter later.

Now, alone in Myron’s car, I wondered why Myron hadn’t defended me inside. I knew he wasn’t my real boyfriend, but still... I had thought he was at least a friend. Even Hannah had yelled at Erik, something which had taken the sting out of his comment about me.

"That Carter is a real jerk, huh?" Myron said now as we headed down the street.

"What?" I asked, thinking I’d misheard him. How could Myron possibly think that after the way he’d defended me?

"Did you hear how he talked to his girlfriend?" Myron asked. "I feel sorry for her." He laughed as he said it but I caught him shoot a quick look in my direction to gage my reaction.

"Myron, what are you talking about?" I demanded, my temper rising. "Carter was defending me. He was the only one in the room doing it too."

"What’s that supposed to mean?" Myron said, turning to look at me, his car sliding over the yellow line that marked the middle of the road.

"Myron, look out!" I shouted, alarmed. The car slid back over into his lane and stayed there. For now.

"What is the matter with you?" I shouted. "Are you jealous of Carter?"

Myron snorted. "Jealous?" he asked. "Of that oaf? Can he even read? No, Ava, I’m not jealous. But I’m also not delusional."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"You like him, don’t you?" Myron said, rounding on me.

"What makes you think that?"

"It’s obvious, that’s all." His face fell a little and I felt bad.

"Myron," I said, trying to come up with the right words. "You know tonight was just pretend, right? I explained that to you. You said you understood."

"I did. I do. I just..." He pulled the car over then and looked at me with, imploring eyes. "Ava, I just..." He closed his eyes and leaned towards me, pressing his lips against mine.

"Myron," I yelled, pushing him away.
