Blurry Waters

Sitting in the living room with Austin, I continued to think about the guy I met at school the first day. He was so sweet and helped get everyone away from me. But what if he didn't feel the same way? I remembered that I had his number and pulled out my phone.

Me ; Hey.. It's Aubrey, from school the other day..

I waited for a reply that almost didn't come. I laid with Austin and ate Mac'n Cheese when my phone rang.

Me ; Hello?
Him ; Hey, Aubrey, It's Joey from school. I'm sorry I didn't answer your text. I was busy and I thought this was so much easier.
Me ; Oh. Uh, hey.
Him ; What's up?
Me ; Nothing, just watching a movie,
Him ; Oh that seems fun.
Me ; yeah can I text you?
Him ; Sure!
Me ; Uh, okay bye.

I felt awkward as Austin asked me who was on the phone.

"Oh, just someone I met from the school. No one you know." He gave me a weird look as if he should know everyone. Just then I got a text from Joey.

Him ; Hey
Me ; Hey, I know this is weird but.. I really have an attraction to you.

Again, I waited and waited for a text that almost didn't come. I was afraid of rejection. My social anxiety has been so bad, especially with this. But, then, it came, and rejection hit hard.

Him ; I'm sorry I just don't feel that way about you.

I didn't respond but instead walked to my room with Austin following me.

"What happened?!" He yelled at me, confused by the sudden mood change. But I didn't want to talk about it, I wanted to rip my skin open. I was stronger though.

"Nothing, babe." I said it casually. Reassuring my best friend that I was okay, but he knew me too well, and pushed me until I told him the entire story.
