The End of the Road

The Silent Chase

They've all been avoiding each other all day. Harry hasn't spoken about it yet. (I don't want him to talk to me about it yet, because I don't like his friends' guts) The girls can't even look at each other without internally barfing. And I was sitting there, the whole time, thinking about yellow.

 You see, Harry's my best friend and all, but he's been talking about Katie a lot lately. I mean, change the subject. He's practically her henchman, he does everything for her, and she only returns him with a smile. And Harry flies, sky high. I'm telling you, it's scary. 

If it were me, I would doing things for Harry too (which is weird to say because I'm a guy, but you know what I mean), but he told me it was "part of the courtship process". What the hell does that even mean? Okay, I don't even know anymore.

Amidst all of that, Allison, who I thought was a better person than Katie, has been coming on to me AND Harry. She's acting like a whore!

During Gym today, we were walking out on the track, and they were separated. They haven't spoken to each other since lunch (I think). Katie was on the bench reading a book, Harry was sitting on the field watching people walk by, and Allison was doing laps. I was there too, but I was eating my banana, (yes a banana, I get hungry 10 minutes after lunch) so I was too busy to keep Harry company. 

Since I had nothing better to do, I decided to think of all the bad things that could happen with Katie and Harry. 

This is something that both Harry and Allison know, but Katie doesn't realize it herself, because she doesn't have to. She has some kind of anxiety. Harry gets sick from general anxiety when we have a test and stuff, but Katie has anxiety, I don't know which, but some kind of anxiety. She thinks too much, and then she spirals, and one time she almost died. (she locked herself in a closet, said she was loosing oxygen, and her dad had to break her out with an ax and take her to the hospital.) And the worst thing is, she doesn't even remember any of what happens when she has an attack.

So, Harry could trigger an anxiety/panic attack if (or when) they start dating, she could think too much, end up in the hospital, and forget he exists.

Or she could just reject him when he asks her out.

That's probably as bad as it'll get right now, which is why Harry is delaying the "courtship process" a little bit.

Anyway, I've been sitting quietly, with my bananas, and haven't been interrupting whatever is that's going on between them. But it's getting kinda hostile. The glares especially. 

It's like a war, that I can't see. Or visualize, for that matter.

Anyway, gym ended, blah blah blah, and then we went to math class. Our teacher gave a boring lesson and whatever, all that geometry crap. But all four of us sit together in that class. So it was kinda fun watching them not say anything.

As soon as the ball rang, Katie and Allison just disappeared. 

I have no idea where they went.
