Dear Veronica,

Days are progressing. It has been two weeks since that incident and although we haven't spoken since, I kept falling deeper in love. Every time she saw me, no matter how many times a day, she gave me a small smile. Sometimes, she mouthed hi. And sometimes, I replied hi back to her, when I could. I felt a newfound ecstasy growing inside me, and my heart felt more jumpy than usual.

At the same time, I felt guilt. I didn't tell TAR (Tom, Andrew, Robin, which formed 3/4th of STAR) about this. Me loving Laura. Was it love?

Back to topic, I didn't even tell Andrew about this! And I usually tell him almost everything about my life. Almost. Except the ones I forget to tell him about. Andrew doesn't judge. He's a good guy. I didn't tell TR because I don't trust them to keep this as a secret. But the reason I think why I did not tell Andrew was because... lately, he hasn't been telling me something too.

Something's definitely going on with him and I don't know what. I haven't been able to figure it out. I keep think of asking him, but something stops me. If he'd wanted to tell me by now, he would. But he hasn't.

I've known him since 8th grade, and he only hides the 'too-personal' stuff. Last time this happened, it was when his grandfather died. He didn't tell me for two weeks. And when I finally got it out of him, he cried for an hour. His granddad raised him in the initial, crucial years, and his demise was numbing. I'd met him only once before that, and he's really kind. So anyway, Andrew was very attached to him. That was the first time something like this happened. And this is happening now. It is terrible.

Andrew, cannot communicate for shit. He opens up to very selected people. I was one of them. But now, he isn't telling something, and its killing me.

You haven't spoken to me properly in days too. At school, you spend your time writing. You don't know that even though we haven't spoken in days, I speak to you every day.

Mmm, funny how that works.
