Catch Up

Okay, so, it's been a few days, Ive updated Mom and Dad on the situation, they were a little uncertain and confused but after a few minutes we were all on the same page.

I don't know how many times B has apologized every time we call or text each other ever since that day. B has also countlessly reminded Eric about the offer he proposed to him and Eric always replies with, 'Soon.'

If I were to guess what Eric would ask of B then I would guess, probably, helping him find a job? Or help pay this months bills, just to hold him down for the month or maybe next month? Or- actually, I dont know, I'm just spitballing ideas here. I know that Eric wouldn't want to regret making a decision with this so it's understandable that it's taking him a while to think of something.

Oh yeah, Owen. So, it was kind of hard for B to tell Owen about...everything. He really did actually love him and I feel bad that he hasn't been given the same type love in return. B told me that they were arguing non-stop and Owen tried and tried to paint me as the bad guy while he was pleading and attempting to stay in a relationship with him. B was beyond furious with Owen because, not only did Owen mess with his feelings, he also messed with with me, his trust and Eric.

I didn't know this before but, B sees Eric as an older brother which I can see. They get along just like brothers and bicker just like brothers, even though Eric is an adult but B is technically an adult too; he's 19, just two months before me.

Anyways, Owen is no longer apart of B's life, B cut all ties with him. When it boils down to Owen's father, B said, when he called him, that he sounded strange. As if, he wasn't surprised but was really 'fed up' and annoyed, and I, honestly, don't know what to make of that.

Aside from the negatives, and kind of positives, B is ready to finally, officially, go to college.

...yay...

I'm happy for him, really I am, but...when he goes to college he won't have time for me, for us. Don't get me wrong, I want him to do his best and succeed but it's hard not seeing someone that you love dearly, platonically of course. He's very important to me, he's been there for me. He knows me frontwards and backwards, my fears and flaws, my strengths and virtues.

We're like a pair of socks, if you lose one them what's the point of having the other sock? If the other sock is in the wash while the other, for some reason, is still in the hamper, then all that sock has to do is wait. And yes, I did just compare our friendship to socks, socks are important.

Speaking of school, since Eric is no longer the English teacher there's a substitute and, oh my gosh, she's annoying! No one likes her, I've overheard some of the staff say that they don't like her. She is just so aggravating and she doesn't explain the material right.

When Eric was the teacher he made sure that everyone was on the same page, figuratively and literally. He helped the kids gladly, that needed more of an explanation, in a one on one conversation. Everyone liked him.

I'm good at English but when this lady explains it, I become so confused, like I never have before in that singular classroom. Even others noticed that I was confused and, before this, sometimes people would come up to me and ask me questions but since they knew that I was confused they didn't even bother to ask. Im lucky that I can just ask Eric for help after school.

I am so glad that she is only a substitute until there's another teacher, well for next year kids that is, I don't know how long she's going to be the substitute.

Nobody knew why Eric was fired, rumors spread that he quit and people believed that one more rather than him getting fired, which is for the best.

Other rumors were non-believable, for example: He didn't like any of the kids, quit, and decided to work for a different school. I don't know who came up with that one but no one believed it. Another example: He got married and moved away. I wish this one was true, I would love to be married to him and live in our own house, one can dream.
