The Question

A slight burn of rage filled inside James's stomach. He knew Andrea was referring to him because it couldn't possibly be Martin, who everyone was expecting to go for it. James felt a sensation he hadn't felt before, it was as if those words triggered something inside him. He realised how people seen him in that moment, more importantly how girls viewed him. Now everything inside him, wanted to shatter their opinions. James wanted to prove Andrea wrong, it wasn't even about Victoria for him, now. He stepped towards them.
"Will you go out with me?"
"No, sorry" she replies.
