Rejoice In Rejection

The rejection, surprisingly, really didn't matter to James. Laughter was all around him, but it was a different kind of laughter. It was more a laughter with James than at him.

"Yessss James!" Shouted Scott before coming over and reaching out for a high five. James felt a respect from his peers he had never received, he could tell they were impressed. Nobody else had the courage to ask Victoria out, apart from Martin who minutes later, tried and failed six times before serenading her with "I'm your man" by Wham. James didn't even care it was almost past curfew.
