Short. But i had to do this.

My day went on as usual, I guess. Gale still doesn’t love me, but for some reason I have yet to go numb. Very unfortunate.

I saw the girl again this morning, same location, but today, she had people with her---I presume her friends---she was laughing and she was smiling. It all seemed so real….Except I know how fake laughing and smiling look like, I know them like the back of my hand, they’ve become my friends.

Harry wasn’t in school today so I got to walk Gale to her classes.

I love people and I hate them at the same time. Humans are puzzle pieces I want to connect, people interest me, but at the same time, I feel disgusted by them and what they continuously do to destroy my faith in humanity. I would’ve never guessed I’d hate my own species so much, but I do.

But I love them also.

“Flynn,” I see Gale furrowing her eyebrows. “You’re so….you’re so profound all the time.”

I rack a hand through my hair. “Sometimes you know, sometimes….Sometimes I can’t keep up.” She says.

“But you’re deep too.” I say.

“Really?”

Well no, but sometimes, for the best, you have to feed people with a lie. “Yes.”
