Chapter 13 - Dinner With Martina
Ink's POV
I spun my pencil around my hand as I tried to think of something to draw. Error and I were sitting in the restaurant while eating lunch. I was in a good mood today as I was able to spend time with my best friend.
Error waited for a few seconds at the counter before coming back with a tray. I put my sketchbook away and began eating.
My friend checked his phone for notifications once he sat down. His voice caught my attention.
Error: Martina invited me to eat dinner at the fancy restaurant next to the movie theater. She also wants you to join us. Since she wants to get to know you.
I felt my mood drop instantly when her name was mentioned. I felt my control slip slightly, feeling myself show a dislikable expression. Luckily, Error was too focused on his phone to notice.
He seemed happy to be invited so I sighed in defeat. I moved my hand to get Error to look at me.
Me: "Yeah. I can join you."
Error smiled as he quickly texted Martina back.

Error's POV
I slipped on my suit in a rushed manner. I couldn't help but feel nervous. However, I didn't feel nervous about seeing Martina. I felt nervous about what Ink would think about my attire.
Walking out of my bathroom, I saw Ink sitting on his bed. He was dressed in a black suit. I felt my cheeks become warm.
Me: I-Ink.
He turned off his phone, interesting in what I had to say.
Me: Does it this look good?
He smiled and nodded, causing me to smile. We exited our dorm once were ready and walked to Ink's car.
A half of a hour had passed when we pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant. We stepped out of the car. Ink looked a the ground as we entered through the front doors.
I saw Martina sitting at a table. She was wearing a rose red dress and black high heels. Her naturally curly brown hair was straightened out and she wore a light layer of makeup.
She stood up when she noticed us at the entrance. As Martina approached us, I prepared to kiss her on the cheek. However, she pulled my suit and locked our lips.
My eyes widened as I was surprised. I couldn't understand why I felt so uncomfortable. I desperately wanted to pull away. I looked at Ink but saw him avoiding eye contact.
She let go with a confused expression. She seemed to notice that I didn't return the kiss but chose not to acknowledge it.
She led us to the table. There was already a bottle of wine and appetizers.
After sitting down, I talked with Martina. I felt happy just talking with her as a friend. However, the thought of dating her unsettled me.

Ink's POV
I sat there in silence. Martina seemed to get closer to Error. He smiled at her as she held his hand.
I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to leave.
Tapping Error on the shoulder, I raised my hands to speak.
Me: "I'm going to the restroom."
Error: Oh... okay.
I pushed my chair back and stood up to leave the table. I walked quickly to the restroom.
Luckily, it was single person restroom. Locking the door behind me, I stood motionless for a minute.
Black tears began to fall from my eyes. I leaned my head against the door.
'I don't know why I even agreed on coming here. It's clear that Error is going to date Martina. I'm just getting in the way.'
I wiped my tears with my sleeve.
'I need to transfer colleges. I should back to my home town and live with mom.'
Once my tears were cleaned away. I unlocked the door. Peeking from the door, I checked to see if Error could see me.
When I saw that he wasn't, I headed straight for the door and...
Exited the building
