As they laid there in a tangle of blankets and limbs, Polo thought about how whenever Christian, and him get close Christian always pulls back. Always makes it obvious That he is only there for Carla. So Polo decides that he will stop trying for Christian. Carla and Christian can hook up, and they can have threesomes, but he will not put effort into a one-sided relationship. "Carla, can I talk to you for a moment?" Polo asked while standing. Carla got up and followed him to the hallway. "I think that this isn't working for me." Carla looked confused, " You want to stop?" "No, I just don't want that I just don't think I need to be here every time."

Carla and Polo left the room, and Christian started to get dressed. 'Wonder what they're talking about,' he thought as he got dressed. He left the room to find them and say Carla is looking confused and a bit hurt, and Polo trying to comfort her. "He guys, is everything ok?" "Yeah, everything is great want something to eat?" Carla said, trying to switch topics as quickly as possible. Christian nods, and Polo says, "Great; I'll make some breakfast," and kisses Carla on the cheek and walks to the kitchen. Carla looks at Christian quickly and follows behind Polo.

As they finish eating, Polo starts to clean up and gets a text. "Hey, can someone tell me who texted?" Christian picks up the phone and says, "Ander, he wants to know if you want to hang out tonight." " Hmmm, tell him I'm down." Christian notices the time and realizes that he has to be home soon and grabs his stuff and leaves, giving a quick kiss to Carla and a quick goodbye to Polo. And suddenly Carla understood what Polo meant, and she honestly agreed.

The next week

Christian was at Carla's locker, waiting for Carla and Polo while thinking about how weird Polo has been acting. Polo has made less of an effort to be with him, and it frustrates Christian. He doesn't know why he cares so much, but it doesn't matter. Carla and Polo arrive, and Christian gets Carla with a hug, and usually, Polo would go in for one as well, but Christian would just give him a high five, but today he just gave him a nod of acknowledgment and left. Christian followed him with his eyes then quickly shifted his focus back to Carla, who is looking at where Polo was with a look on her face as if she was trying to comprehend something. The bell rings, and they hurry to class.

Polo is standing at his locker when Carla and Christian come up to him. " So Christian, how do you feel about dinner tonight?" After an enthusiastic nod from Christian, the bell rings for their school to end, and Polo says, "Have fun tonight." And kisses Carla then leaves. Christian, with a look of confusion on his face, turns to Carla and asks, "He's not coming?" "No, I guess not," Christian can't help but feel a little disappointed. Carla, who didn't think Polo was serious, was just as surprised and slightly concerned. Capra decides to talk more about it with Polo later.

As Polo is heading out of school, Ander asks if he wants to hang with him, and Guzmán and Polo, without hesitation, agrees. Once they get to Guzmán's house, they start drinking and are very drunk very soon. Polo tells his friends what has been going on, and Ander says, "Maybe it's time for you, me, and Carla to have another special hangout." Polo nods thoughtfully. And soon, Polo and Ander both go home. While lying in bed, Polo receives a text from Ander asking if he's free tomorrow after school and tells him to plan to spend the night. Ander is planning something, and Polo wonders if he should be worried.
