The friendship game.

You're ugly.

It's been a month since Randwell and a month since I last saw Greg.

One afternoon on a Tuesday, after school, I was napping in my room until I heard someone pressing my doorbell.

"Ugh. Why isn't mom home? "I groaned, heading downstairs.

The person kept pressing the doorbell.

"Okay okay, I'm coming. Don't break the bell." I say, irritated. Why so persistent? Even more annoyed at the fact I got interrupted during my nap.

"Yes? What do you-" I say as I open the door but I pause when I saw who it was.

I just stood there standing for a moment before shutting the door. But their foot stops the door.

"Oi. Dana. Open the door."

"Never." I absolutely refused to let him in. This is outrageous "Sorry. Forgot my mom told me to never open the door for strangers. Please leave."

"And your mom invited me over for dinner. Now, move." He says, pushing against the door "Stop being so immature."

"Don't tell me what to do." I hate to admit but I was starting to lose at door pushing. "Just go home and come back later."

"I can't I forgot my keys and since she invited me over, I might as well come now."

"That's unfortunate and not my problem."

I couldn't hold out for any longer "Okay you win. Stop pushing. I'll let you in."

They stopped pushing. So obedient.

We were both sitting in the living room in awkward silence.

"So that girl was you. You've changed." They say to break the silence.

"Yeah" I said bluntly. Took you a long time to realize.

"How is Randwell? How long has it been since? A month?"

I felt furious and snapped at them " Why do you care? Huh? Stop trying to act like nothing happened, GREG."

"Relax. I'm trying to clear the silence."

"Well, don't."

"Fine."

I went upstairs to grab my phone and head back down into the living room and sat back down.

I started to text Francis.

Omg omg omg. - Dana

It took him ten minutes to reply. I glanced over at Greg who was on his phone.

What? - Francis

He's here! In my house. - Dana

Who is? - Francis

Greg! - Dana

Well are you alright? - Francis

Somehow. But it is reallyyyy awkward. - Dana

You don't say. - Francis

I rolled my eyes.

Sorry to say this but I can't keep you company right now. Busy. Ttyl - Francis

Woooooooow. Un- boleev- a-bol. What is friend? What is boyfriend?

I was thinking to text Jeremias when I realized I didn't have his number. Dang it.

I felt a gaze coming from Greg "What?"

He chuckles "Nothing."

I don't know why but I feel so irritated. I just sighed in frustration.
