I emailed Grant as quickly as possible when I found out that the frame on my wall vanished when he left too. It is not his property to take it away. I don't know why he seems so interested in it and the thought that maybe Grant was the person whom I talking to on the gram are the same person but he told me earlier he doesn't have any socials but email. I don't know if he will reply to me or not but I'm hoping that he will give it back because it is not mine too!

But I've waited all night, he didn't reply or maybe he just completely ignored me because he wanted to play with me. Sometimes I just couldn't stand him and all he does irritates me but there are days that all of my insecurities towards him subside that I didn't mind because I was too comfortable with what's happening. I just think that he knows that this thing works and I'm not sure how to play with it.

Before I left my dorm, I received a notification from the gram user.

@eyedrawu: You know that I won't give up until I get my drawing from you. I could even come to walk into your house at night while you were sleeping.

And then my eyes flash towards the wall where it was hanged. Because I don't know what to reply, I ignore the message and whatever the gram user will say, it won't bother me at all. No one knows where do I leave anyway—except for Allen and Anthony. And miss those bastards. And one of the worst things that happened last night, Allen removed me from the group chat that the three of us were in. I was just removed all of a sudden. So I tried to send him a private message but just seen my message, as well as Anthony.

I was hoping that I'll be able to see them on the bus and finally got to clear the issue between us but when I got on the bus, I tried looking for them but they weren't around. They might've taken another bus or Anthony was late again or they're just completely ignoring me anytime and anywhere. If it's because of Grant, after all, I don't know what to say. In the first place, I've known their hatred towards him but knowing Grant doesn't bear all those traits as it was just mere speculations that he was that kind of person. And he's straight so their accusation that he's gay was absolutely making everybody lean that it was the truth. I just want the cold treatment to end.

My trip to school was quick enough I didn't even notice it. Maybe there's no traffic at this hour. As I walk into the school grounds, I saw Anthony and Allen on the student's lounge. I know they saw me because they look in my direction and when I tried to walk towards them, they immediately cleaned their table and walk away. I stopped immediately when they did that. I guess they're not ready to talk to me—or not ever.

"Hey," I swiftly turned my head when someone calls my attention, and when it's Grant. I knew I had to say something but I noticed that he's not in his usual mood. "What are you saying in your email?" he asked but I didn't respond 'cause I know he already knows what I'm talking about.

As being concerned, I slowly put the back of my hand on Grant's forehead as I'm almost at tiptoe just to reach it. Then I felt that he's burning.
