Calculations Made In The Dead Of Night, And The Waters That Watched

               It had taken less than ten minutes for me to break. That was pathetic as fuck. It's like my fingers typed the message all on their own, so maybe it wasn't me.

I'm fairly sure that for the first time in my life, my buttons had really been pushed. (In the way that they were) Because no one...not one person, has ever won this kind of battle against me.

Julian... why was he different? What is it about him that makes me the way I am right now? Or just lately, because I was becoming harder for myself to recognise.

Ju:
good, good. how are you so photogenic.

I was smiling so much lately it was starting to worry Ma. At first, she hated the fact that I was grumpy more times than not. And my sudden change was now her greatest concern. It was always concern mixed with a little relief in her voice trying to get me to tell her what exactly changed. If I was being honest, I didn't know either. And maybe it would be the weirdest thing to say that out of nowhere, Julian happened.

Me:
it's a me thing

Ju:
that is hard to believe, considering there's no substantial proof. well, apart from this picture that is...

Me:
you did not just say that

Ju:
read it again

How I wish he was right next to me, we'd see where the cheekiness came from then. But then what would you do?

That was the question, wasn't it?

Me:
i AM handsome, admit it. in fact, you prolly aint admittin shit because its too much for you to handle...i understand juju

It felt like I could see him smile from the other side.

Ju:
after sighing a lot...i've made up my mind. we'll test it out

Me:
and how exactly are we supposed to do that

Ju:
i'll show you when i see you

Me:
does that mean i get to see you soon?

Seriously, what were we doing? This obviously couldn't be normal. I'd rather eat a flip flop than talk to Mike, Liam, Kit or Connor like this.

Ju:
not as soom as i'd have wanted but yes, soon

I looked at the piece of text with more than a thousand things swimming through my mind. Against my better judgment, I texted back a question.
