The Halal Relationship

Chapter 2 - Denial

I just got home and school today was rough. I had a rather difficult test, but I think I did well because I did a decent job of studying. Anyways, I'm going to check the server because I'm pretty bored.

And everyone's talking on it! This would be a good thing if, well, Simon wasn't here. 

I won't deny it, but I'm starting to become tired of the people on the server. However, there is no way I could ever admit that. I mean, it's just getting boring, I guess. It was enjoyable at first, but now everything is just extremely repetitive. Why even talk if everyone can only discuss the same two subjects?

Well, right now everyone is just talking about the test we had, but it's okay. Since neither Alexandra nor I want to put up with them any longer, we will just have a private DM conversation. 

A few hours later

We went back to talk on the server, however, Simon was there. Unexpectedly though, he's acting a little better than he was last night. 

Well, I'm not going to think about him too much.

One week later

I honestly don't know, but it's been a while. It turns out that Simon is not quite as awful as I initially believed. I know, alright, the change-up. Just hear me out, okay?

He and Alexandra apparently got into an argument about him not understanding what she was trying to say. The strange thing is, though, that a few days later, he genuinely seemed to like... listen to what she had to say and he stood up for me and her when something else happened relating to it. That just feels weird coming from him. He's also just being nicer as a whole, once you actually speak to him, that is. 

Perhaps he is an alright person after all, you just simply needed to get to know him?

I don't know.

It's not like it matters though right? 

Yeah, right.

A few days later

He has been a topic of conversation between Alexandra and I these past few days; nevertheless, some of the things he does are really questionable. But he's not really much different from the other guys in our classes, is he?

I've been talking to him so much more recently, and I'm dying to know, is it killing him like it's killing me?

I don't know, but it's not like it matters..right?

Have you ever had the feeling that the more you communicate with someone, the more you realise how much better or worse they are as a person? At least when he's not acting like a self-centered bitch, I think he's not as horrible as I gave him credit for.

It's not like I like him or anything, but I constantly see him on the server and talk to him more and more, and for some reason, I enjoy it? I don't really enjoy talking to anyone else on the server as much as I enjoy talking to him, but nobody can know that...nobody except Alexandra.
