I Do Not Fall For Boys

“Oh gee I dunno, you tell me, Lover-boy”

VILLE’S POV
I watched Dunn leave the Margera house, not in a creepy stalker way, I just hadn’t left the alley still.
I couldn’t bring myself to leave. I didn’t want to go home, I wanted to go see Bam, apologize for being such a wanker.
What have I got to lose? He doesn’t wanna see me already so what’s the difference?
I decided to climb the tree and jump in the window, original I know. I’m not exactly co-ordinated but I managed.
I fell with a thud on the pine floor, just like Bam had that morning.
“Get lost” Bam’s voice, sounding muffled
“Aren’t you supposed to say who’s there?” I asked
“Finland?” Bam pulled his head up from the pillow
I strolled over at sat on the edge of the bed
“What are you doing here?” he asked
“Uh, I guess I wanted to apologize” I said looking at my shoes timidly
“Go on then” Bam said sitting up
“I’m sorry for being a wanker. Honestly I didn’t mean to, I just don’t know how to deal with people and their emotions. I get attached to someone and they leave, so I avoid any connections to people...” I murmured keeping my head down. I didn’t want to see the hurt spread across his usually bright face.
“So...yeah, basically I’m sorry” I rubbed my nose with my sleeve and stood up to leave
“Don’t leave” I heard Bam say
I turned around slowly.
“What?” I asked, wanting to make sure I’d heard him right
“Don’t leave” he repeated
“You still wanna hang out with me?” I asked, surprised.
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I?”
“Cause I’m screwed up” I replied solemly

BAM’S POV
“And I’m not?” I said
Ville offered a slight smile and sat cross-legged on the end of my bed. He looked so delicate, like if the wind were to blow he’d fall off in an instant.
“So we good?” I asked
“Bam, I think you need to re-take English. Your sentence structure sucks” he teased.
“Oh shove it Finland” he smirked
“Yeah, we’re good” Ville laughed at the stupidity of the sentence.
“Bam honey...” Ape’s voice came
“Yeah ma?” I sighed
“Phone” she replied
“I’ll be right back, ok” and I left Ville and went downstairs.
Ma handed me the phone.
“Hello?” I said, unsure who would be calling me
“Margera” said the voice I recognized as Novak’s
“Novak, hey. What’s up?”
“Just been talking to Dunn”
“Uh...ok, and I care why?”
“Oh he’s just been informing me of the current happenings and such”
“Ok...and these happenings concern me because...?”
“What does Finland mean to you?”
“Finland?”
“You heard me”
“Uh, it’s a place in like Europe or something”
“Bam”
“What!”
“The Finnish kid? Ringing any bells, Margera?”
“Oh, Ville. Yeah, what about him?”
“Oh I think you could tell us that Margera”
“Novak, I have no clue what the hell you’re on about”
“Like hell”
“What? What are expecting to hear?”
“Oh gee I dunno, you tell me, Lover-boy”
“LOVER BOY!” That was it. My anger erupted.
I hung up the phone, correction it was more of a slamming motion really.
I turned around to see Ville standing at the bottom of the staircase.
“Uh...prank calls?” I lied
“Prank calls don’t sound like that” Ville said quietly as we walked back up to my room
“It was just Novak being a tool” I said, shrugging it off.
“It’s me, right?” Ville asked not looking me in the eye
“W-why would it be you” I asked, trying to stop my voice shaking
He looked at me with an expression that silently screamed ‘Don’t lie’
I couldn’t take it so I turned and pretended to be really interested in the pine flooring.
