The next day was the usual for me.
-- I was woken up by Maria only at a much later time. Today she woke me up by 7:45am.
-- My mom isn't talking to me and I couldn't care any less.
-- Steve and my mom are still having issues.
-- Gerald is still acting like the withdrawn antisocial teenager he is.
I'm starting to worry about him. He doesn't talk nor act the way a sixteen year old boy should.
His mates are out there partying, drinking and cuffing girls while he's always locked up in his room. I've never even heard him talk about liking a girl or a boy.
He's the captain of the football team. Why doesn't he act normal?
I don't even think I've heard him say he's going for a party or hanging out with friends.
He's always at home in his room and it's always locked.
He claims he wants his privacy but I'm sure there's more to it.
It's probably because of the way he grew up. We basically grew up alone so I don't blame him for being quiet. Nobody ever really cared about us especially when we were kids. Our mom always left us with the maids.
We were also stigmatized at a point in school when our dad was arrested for embezzlement of government funds.
I worry about Gerald sometimes - scratch that- I worry about him all the time.
Well, let's come back to the present.
I'm currently on my bed waiting for Drew. It's 8:00pm.
My phone vibrated, indicating that I have a text.
I checked it. It was from Amber and Tiffany
Tiffany✨ : Are you okay? Amber wants to speak with you
Amber ❤️ : Can we talk?
Can we?
I replied to Tiffany first.
Me: I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I just got her text btw
Tiffany✨: I hope you two talk things out
Me: yeah whatever
I replied Amber next.
Me: what's up?
Amber❤️ : I'm sorry for my outburst the other day
Me: I'm sorry too. You deserve that post
No, she doesn't. I just want peace to reign.
Amber❤️ : It's fine. Tiffany and I will come over tomorrow.
Me: Can't wait
Amber❤️ : Alright. I'm glad we're on good terms
Me: Me too
Amber❤️ : TTYL xx
Me: 💞 💞
A tap on my window brought me back to the reality. It was Drew.
Finally..
I got up and opened the window for him.
"Hey babe" he said.
I smiled.
"Hi"
He was carrying a bag.
