And the heart of a man is located in his dick

Especially if you’re Jonathan.

Noah

I would like to request not to be grouped into this subspecies of man

Me

And what is your argument?

Noah

My heart is clearly in my stomach

I huff a laugh. This is exactly the distraction I need. Swapping to Google, I do a quick search to up his trivia.

Me

Fun fact: You can’t hum if you hold your nose

After a few seconds, bubbles appear and disappear.

Noah

What the fuck Charlotte

I almost suffocated myself

I burst out laughing.

Me

What can I say, I take your breath away

“What’s got you all giddy, baby cakes?” Andi asks, and I meet her curious eyes.

“Oh, nothing,” I say, fighting a smile. “Just trying to bethatbitch.”

“Good.” She beams, satisfied. “You seem in better spirits. Should we go grab lunch?”

The heavy weight on my chest returns. “Or we could starve instead?”

She raises her brows. “Come on.”

I groan. “Fine, let’s go.”

On our journey through camp, I keep my eyes peeled for any sign of Jonathan. The blue doors of the cafeteria appear before us, and a sigh of relief escapes me. Once I’m inside surrounded by the CBU football players, I’ll be safe.

“Charlie.” Chills scatter from my neck down my spine. I keep walking. “Charlie!”

The voice is louder, and I glance towards Andi for salvation. “Mask of indifference,” she whispers before he reaches us.

“Hey,” Jonathan says with a smile, as if the last time we spoke wasn’t when I caught him dick-deep in another girl.

“Hi,” I clip, folding my arms over my chest.

“How’ve you been?” he asks.How have I… Is he for real?
