subject : it's three a.m. and the moonlight is testing me

I think Allison likes me. In a way more than the kissing me on the lips once during a joyous occasion way I was thinking of.

I don't know if I like her, though. But what I do know is that I will do anything to not lose her.

I saw you, looking happier than ever. Broke my heart, though. I want you to be happy, of course, but not happier than when I was with you. A part of me is foolishly hoping that you still like me, and are doing this all to just make me jealous.

Deeley has grown to dislike you. It's nothing personal, I think, just a natural reaction to your fall out with me. Kenneth still adores you, though. He thinks you're one of the smartest and the sharpest people he has ever met. He thinks you would do me a lot good, but he doesn't think that I would do you any good. That bastard didn't even try to sugarcoat it. But hey, that's Kenneth. The same, stoic Kenneth who laughed so hard at something you said that we all thought he was having an aneurysm. You always had this easy charm, didn't you?

The same easy charm that I saw at work again today when I passed by you talking to the new guy on the basketball team — Zion. It probably hadn't even been an hour since you two would have been talking and yet he looked all ready to drive you home. I hated it.

Do you feel the same when you see Allison in my arms? I wonder often.

But then again, you always were good at charming people quickly, weren't you? Even though you abhorred socializing, you loved to be the center of attention. You hated talking to new people but you made friends just as easily. You were such a contradiction. Contradictions have always intrigued me.

I wish I had never met you, Elaine. Every thing about you infuriates me and charms me to my core, all at once.
