Singular

17 ☆Choices☆

I managed to get out of Rusty's, apologizing to George for leaving so soon, but I'm really afraid Garrett would do something reckless. Gosh he's so unpredictable, I can never tell if he's gonna kill somebody or he's just gonna ignore it completely.

I ran until I saw Garrett calmly walking away, his figure becoming smaller each time, but I can't let him go.

"Garrett!" I called for him, but it took me back a little when I saw he actually turned towards me but quickly looked away once again, so without wasting any second, I ran towards him until I finally reached him, but he didn't even look my way.

"Look I know you're mad, don't tell me you're not, but what you saw wasn't what you think it was, I thought you had asked me to hang out so I went but-" I tried my best to explain the situation but I got caught off immediately by Garrett stopping his steps then facing completely towards me.

Once I dared to look up at him, I expected to see his enraged expression, but instead, it was nothing, as if he wasn't a human at all, it was terrifying, but all he did was stare at me for a few seconds, I hoped he would say something.

"Why are you telling me this?" His face was expressionless. I hate when he does that, I can't tell what he's thinking, he just loves making things hard for everyone.

"B-because I-I thought-" once again, I tried explaining, but got caught off by Garrett huffing and quickly interrupting me with his reply.

"I don't care who you go out with, Brinley." He said that with a 'duh' tone but he kept his expression emotionless, but mine had sadness and shock written all over.

"Alright. I guess, I'll see you tomorrow.. " I stopped walking but he kept going, only giving me a small wave without any other reply.

Does he really not care? How could this be possible? I really thought our relationship was improving and he would maybe.... start liking me as well.

I sighed. Right. I got carried away, after telling myself a million times not to, but of course my stupid heart could not listen to my head for just once.

I was home after a bit after I hadn't noticed how I got there, I wish I could take my mind off him. But I just can't, it just seems unreal to me that he just turned to the Garrett I met at the ball, haven't things changed? Not even a little?

"Brin? Hello? Is someone in there?" My thoughts got interrupted by a really loud and chirpy voice, I lifted my head to see no other than Deanna, I guess, I could use some distraction.

"Deanna! What brings you here?" It is indeed weird the fact that she's in my house, she would only come whenever she and Jay had trouble, a whole mess. But today she seems pretty normal so I believe things are fine between them.

"We haven't seen each other since graduation Brin, I just missed my friend." With that, she pulled me into a hug, I could only chuckle a little bit. I guess she does see me as her best friend, I kinda now feel a little bad for leaving her behind.

After ending our hug, we walked into my room, gladly she won't say anything about my mess, I'd probably never let her in if she commented anything about it.

"Everything okay Brin? You seem a bit down." Why are my emotions so obvious all the freaking time? Should I tell her about Garrett? I don't really want her to be nosy and get in between. I mean, she is here for a reason, and I guess I could really use some talking. Alright. Here goes nothing.

"Actually, not everything is okay, there has been something weird between me and this guy...." and I went on to tell her everything about Garrett and even George, and also what happened today, while I spoke all I could see was a shocked expression from my friend as if everything I told her was so unbelievable, although it actually kinda is. "So, what should I do?"

"Okay, first off. GEORGE HAS A TWIN?!" I rolled my eyes, really?! That's all she remembers from everything I told her. "Sorry, I just never thought about it. Look Brin if you want my advice, Garrett is a weird kid, and from what you have told me, he really isn't trying to keep you, you are the one who is always after him and that's definitely not good. Also, George Matthews asked you out? You should totally go out with him! You have liked him since he came to our school, don't think I haven't noticed! You guys have so much in common, so much more than that weird guy Garrett."

Okay this isn't really helping. But I guess what Deanna is saying makes sense, I'm the one who's always looking for Garrett and apologizing stuff I didn't even do.

"But nothing that I said actually matters if you don't even know, who do you like Brin, Garrett or George?"

But how am I supposed to figure it out?
