Broken Promise: A Breaking Bad fan sequel

The Diary of Holly White - December 19, 2020

I'm sorry for not writing in here since September, but school picked up and I kinda lost track of this diary. Well, no, it's always been in the bottom drawer of my nightstand, so I didn't lose track of it, I just forgot about it, but I also didn't feel like writing in it that much. But some stuff has happened recently, and I just need to confide it in here. Mom's always willing to talk, but this is boy stuff.

So since the last entry, Maggie and I have gotten a lot closer, and she was totally convinced that Hunter has a thing for her, which I was okay with, because I didn't really have a thing for him, which I realized not long after she and I hung out back in August. She tried for a couple months to see if he liked her, because Maggie's nice and confident, but not confident when it comes to boys. Then, at Maggie's birthday party on December 1st, she tried to get Hunter alone, and when she did, he told her that he wasn't into her in that way. He says that she got really upset and said she didn't want to see him anymore, but she told me that he said he didn't think they could be friends, so I don't know who to believe. Maggie talked to me first, though, and to be honest, I kinda took her side, and Hunter tried to tell me that he didn't do anything wrong. Then, the weirdest thing happened near the end of the party, where Hunter caught me alone and then, out of the blue, he tried to kiss me! I mean, what the hell? (sorry Mom) I pushed him away before he actually could, and then he got upset and confused, and said he thought I felt the same way. I said I didn't, in a really awkward way, because what else can you do? He looked like he was about to cry, but he kept tears back and walked away. He hasn't talked to me or Maggie since. What would other people have done in this situation? I don't know. Matt Tanner came up to me last week and asked if Maggie and I were lesbians. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's not what I am, and Maggie isn't, either. She was into Hunter, for pete's sake! I know Hunter spread that rumor, too, to make himself feel better. No one else has asked, and it hasn't become anything to worry about, but I'll tell Mom if it does.

Yeah, my life's been a little stressful lately, but I'm doing all right.My birthday is next Sunday, and Maggie and Jenna are both coming over tocelebrate with me. I haven't spoken to Jenna in a while, but she seems to getit. She knows I've been busy with school, and that the gifted classes take alot of work. Flynn said she might be jealous, but I don't think so. I mean, whywould she be jealous? I've got a ton of more work, less time for fun, and it'sharder work. I'd love to be in her position.
