Strange Encounters

Day 4 part 1

Day 4

Dear Amon,

Ok Amon lets jump right in with what happened today.

I got ready this morning and left the house.

I was tired and not in the mood to even go to school but I just braved it out.

"Bitch how dare you"

That was the first thing I heard from Gio as soon as I walked in.

I was tired and I was just going to look for him and Sarah so it was a nice surprise.

I looked around feigning ignorance at who he was talking too. Which was obviously me.

"Don't look around you bitch I'm talking to you"

Cracking a smile I looked at him and he really seemed angry or he was just a good actor.

"What did I do?"

I tried to hold in my giggle as I pretended I was hurt.

"Don't give me that baby voice. You went on a date with someone and you didn't even tell me. I'm starting to wonder if we are even friends"

I smiled.

"Don't be silly Gio of course your my friend"

"Well I can't say that your mine"

I was caught off guard and I found it very difficult to respond.

"Gi----Gio-"

"Don't Gio me. You haven't been a friend for the last three years. I pegged it down to you grieving but then the first piece of hot ass comes in and your all like fuck my friends. Fuck the people who have been with me since day one. Fuck the person who has loved me for years for a guy who probably only wants one thing from you"

I couldn't breathe. I didn't know he felt like this. I wasn't trying to be a bad friend but I wish things didn't happen to cause it.

Plus this was so out of the blue. We just got to school. This whole thing was really sudden.

"Gio I'm sorry" I was close to tears.

"Yeah are you? What for? For not realizing that your best friend who was probably straight once upon a time was in love with you? Are you sorry for using him when you needed a shoulder but never looking at him more than that? Are sorry that you broke his heart by keeping something so epic from him? Are you sorry that even though all this is happening he still thought there was a chance he could be with you? Wait I know why your sorry. Are you sorry that your selfishness and the fact that your a total introvert, made you lose your best friend and the only guy that has probably loved you? Yea your sorry!"

He busted out in tears and walked off. I couldn't comprehend anything that just happened.

I didn't get it it. Yesterday morning we were joking and just fine. Yea Gio was a bit annoying with his constant need to touch me but that couldn't have caused this.

Gio in love with me though? How could that be true. I tried to look back and felt the wind rush out of my lungs.

The signs were there the whole time. When Gio would look at me. The way he always had a hand on me. The way he always had a way to make me feel better because he was the only one who knew when things were wrong.

I felt stupid. I was the biggest ignoramus ever. He hadn't been hiding his feelings. I had just been too selfish to notice.

I just didn't look at him like that and I never gave him a chance to see if I could. I was awful but yet I had no regrets. I was hurt by his reaction because I was going to tell him about the date.
