"Well, kinda, but, like...I dunno!" He flapped his hands around in exasperation. "I can't figure it out either." He pouted as he followed James, then made his way around the car to the passenger side. "I think maybe, because I told you how much of a dick he was to me, and like, kind of cried a little like a giant pussy about it in front of you, so...I was ashamed of myself and everything, and I dunno, I didn't want you to think I was...you know...pathetic like he said I was or something." Mao dropped his gaze, his cheeks beginning to go red. He felt so stupid, even now, he still liked Luke, despite the asshole not talking to him anymore.
He sighed, leaning against his side of the car. "I think 'cause she's a girl? ...God! That sounds so stupid!"
