Song: Hope is a dangerous thing to have by Lana Del Rey

Reyna told me he was in San Francisco with his dad, so imagine my shock when I saw him waiting for us outside the movie theater. He was nervous and kept scratching the back of his neck the whole he spoke to us, practically begging Reyna to let him walk me home. I didn't want him to walk me home. I didn't want to be alone with him but I couldn't outrightly disagree or else he'd find another way to get what he wanted so I told Reyna to come with us. She didn't understand why I suddenly stopped liking him, she couldn't but her loyalty was to me and not him so she agreed.

He spoke softly at first, asked me how I was doing and what had kept me busy. As usual, he assumed that my world revolves around him and that without him gone I would never be complete. He walked me home with no harm done, except when he squeezed my hand a little too tight as he leaned down to kiss me. It was a warning to stay put and a show for Reyna so she would think we were cool again.

Reyna bought it. It was all she texted about that night. I love the girl but some times I wish my best friend was more perceptive of my emotions. I guess I can't blame her though. He is a very good actor. And it's a bit too much to hope that someone would see past his acting.
