Chapter 4: Why is He Lying?

He does not have bipolar disorder. What?! "Mory, since when do you have bipolar disorder?!"
"Uh- Well..."
"Exactly." First, Selena asks me to find someone else for her to bully, and then Mory decides to notice me again!
"I got diagnosed about 2 months ago..." Oh.
"Oh." Mory has bipolar disorder... He didn't show signs before, though? Interesting... I won't go against the diagnosis, though.

"Anyway... Why are you guys here?"
"Why do you need to know, Ghoster?" Selena speaks up. I look to her, she's acting defensive...
"I want to talk with Rio..."
"Uhm, okay, I'll talk with you..." I respond nervously, blushing lightly as he grabs my hand. I am such a bisexual mess... I don't like him, he's just hot. He leads me by my hand to a hallway.
"I... I wanted to talk about our relationship..."

"Our... Old one? No... I..."
"I want it back, Rio..."
"Mory. I- You-"
"I know what I did." No... He doesn't understand how many days I cried... Back when we were in our second year of middle school, I had a crush on Mory. Our friends, Korr, Alex, Wiyn, and Sam found out, and would start hanging out with him behind my back. I was later told by Mory himself that they had been planning for something. For me.

For Mory to confess. It was a dream achieved to me, dating Mory. He was my crush, now my boyfriend. But... After he confessed, I soon realized he refused to show affection. I tried to tell him how this hurt me, how I loved him. He would brush it off with a simple excuse... He was just angry yesterday, struggling with finding himself for a week, taking a break from everyone, including me, for a month to get his feelings together...

We got in an arguement about it, where I told him that though I was the one who had fallen in love initially, I was falling out of love because he lacked any reciprocation. He blamed it on this and that and guilted me to make me think it was my fault. In the end, he admitted that Alex dared him to date me for a month and he would've never actually loved me. He then broke up with me, I cried for two hours and didn't get over it for 4 months. After all of this. He says he wants me back... "What is wrong with you? You broke up with me?!"
"Didn't I tell you I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder?! I didn't mean it!"

"I-... Mory... Did you really only break up with me because of the impulsive actions, or what?"
"Yes! Yeah, I did..." I don't even look convinced, and I stare him down. "Please believe me, Rio... Look, how about you go on a date with me so I can prove I love you?" Love me? Date?! I'm still skeptical for sure, but I can't help but let my heart flutter at his choice in words.
"Fine... When is this date gonna be?"
"A week from now, 7:30."

"Wow. You weren't expecting me to reject you at all, huh? How confident..." It's suspicious...
"Well, I hoped so, and planned things im advance for just in case..." He kisses my hand... I don't know why, but the chill it sent down my spine is one I can't tell if good or bad... My mind is filling with curious thoughts as he walks away. Why'd he start talking to me just now? Does he mean his words? Will this date bring me joy or the same pain that separated us the first time? Either way... I'm going on that date.
