The house was empty when Alvin got home. He walked by himself since Rick was with his teammates. They won the game by 2 points and they were ecstatic. The team decided to celebrate the victory and the seniors’ last game. Alvin was not able to speak to Rick as much as he wanted to, the least he did was invite him for dinner.
“I'll be there.” Rick told him excitedly while Alvin was dreading for the dinner to happen. Yet he smiled at him, masking the fear shadowing him.
"Of course, I'll see you."
"Should I bring something?" Rick asked casually. "Maybe I'll get some cake from Jessie's mom."
Alvin shrugged. "You don't really need to.."
Rick sensed Alvin's discomfort and took his hand. "Hey, I'll be there okay, don't worry."
Alvin pulled back his hand after seeing some basketball team
