Then don't lead me on anymore.

I laid on my bed staring at the ceiling trying to wrap my head around what she meant. I may just be oblivious but at that moment I felt like a fucking idiot.

What does that even mean? How have I been leading her on? Maybe she's overreacting about something. No. Gwen doesn't overreact about anything. She's perfect. Oh god just shut up that's so weird.

I looked around my room, bored and contemplating calling Edith over for a smoke but opted against it.

I started scrolling on my phone a bit and going through old text messages just to remind myself how miserably lonely I really am.

School that day wore me out. I had gym and trust me when I say I am no athlete. The worst part is that coach had everyone playing soccer. I cant tell you how many times I was yelled at because someone was taking the game way too seriously. I'm uncoordinated and messy. I always have been. I've just learned to ignore it and not really care about it but god when someone is yelling in your ear that you need to get your shit together it's really fucking awkward.

Usually I would've been a bitch and yelled back but I wasn't in the mood to argue with anything today so I just didn't.

I scrolled down and found someone that I almost completely forgot about.

Rory.

I read the last couple of texts.

L:Hey sorry I'm going to have to cancel on going out.

R:Oh yeah totally that's fine I understand

It shocked me how understanding she was about me canceling on her.

I chewed my bottom lip and before I could even protest myself, my fingers began typing automatically.

L:Hi! This is Lee we met a few months ago I was just wondering if you were still open to hanging out?

I stared at the message a long time and contemplated deleting it. I was holding down on it to delete it but the message popped up as read and in a panic i pressed the delete button.

I stared at the bubble with the three dots in it and waited for a message to appear. After a minute of longingly just staring at my phone, the bubble disappeared and I shut my phone off.

"Fuck," I muttered. I threw myself back onto my bed and grabbed a pillow, screaming into it.

I laid there for a second and was finally about to get out of my bed and go do something to occupy my time but I was stopped when my phone vibrated at the foot of my bed.

"Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit!" I scrambled to grab my phone and looked at the screen to see that it was in fact Rory who texted. "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck."

Usually if someone was talking the way I was talking right now, I would be making fun of them for having such a potty mouth but this was freaking me the fuck out.

I opened my phone and looked reluctantly at the message.

R: You still wanna go out or did I scared you out of it?
