Today was really fun. And way less awkward than expected.
We got to the mall and walked towards the boba place. We were waiting for our drinks when she said "So, P——" I laughed and yelled "there it is!" And apparently Peyton was really weird. She described their conversations and it shone such a weird light on him. She never wanted to date him and barely even knew him but he was FIENDING for her. It was funny but in a sad way. She was like lightly flirting with him but he was so ready to risk it all. Poor guy.
We walked around the mall not really talking about much but we held conversation pretty well. We were talking a lot actually. I thought it would've been so awkward and we would've just kinda talked about school. Im very glad it wasn't like that though.
She mentioned how she wants to journal but was afraid of people in her house reading it so I directly told her about this Wattpad. She'd never be able to find this though.
The talking really started when we started walking home. It was a really long walk but it was beautiful out and we had been driven to the mall, so why not. We started talking about C—— and it was very weird to hear her perspective. He was basically abusive. After she broke up with him and after he cheated their whole friend group basically abandoned her. Which made me feel silly because I had thought they were super close. She said no one ever wanted to hang out with her and she basically just sat around all day. I'm glad I agreed to hang out then. We talked about how weird he was to her and all the terrible things he did to us. I was very curious about what happened once I left them. And as you know, I love gossip, so I was absolutely eating this up.
Her sister then drove us to Popeyes after we remembered it was Sunday and nothing is ever open on Sundays. We drove back to my house and sat in my back yard and ate on the glass table out there. Except we didn't eat much because we were very invested in talking. The sun was setting and night was creeping and it was chilly. It was very nice, I love just sitting with people in the dark and talking, it's like crack.
One very very important thing I learned was that everything E—— did to me, she also did to her. We both were given the same "here's gore and porn for the first time!" Treatment. We talked about how we were both messed up by that. E—- was very sexual with both of us too. We were treated the same by her, from 7th grade to now. It was nice to know I wasn't the only one to go through it.
We talked a lot and it was really nice. If we call I'll get into specifics because there's nuance and I don't feel like censoring a million names.
I think me and J—- will hang out again soon. Which actually makes me really excited.
