There's one person who has never picked my calls so calling him now, I was expecting another snob, until I heard his voice on the other side of the receiver...
-How much do you hate him?
-I don't hate him. Everything was consensual, I did it knowingly.
-You realize this is the first time you picked my call, right?
There was a groan then a sigh on the other end.
-I want to beat him up, I want to beat myself up more. We were drunk, I might not even recall much, what does that make me?
-Someone who...
-He didn't take advantage of me. In fact I think it's the other way round.
Really? Is he sure about that? With how I know that guy...wait a minute...But no, I'd really wish it to be him pinned down, then...
-Why do you think so?
-I kissed him first, I threw myself at him.
From that footage that seemed to lean on the truth though not very much so. Though if that's what he recalls I should believe him, right?
-What do you plan to do?
-I told him to stop contacting me. Afterall from the beginning he'd promised not to lay a hand on me but we both succumbed to the madness.
Huh!
So Barnard was telling the truth about one thing then.
I walked by the students who were busy discussing under the shades. I am late, Quint took my car and I haven't seen him since. His uncle was sick and had asked him to go see him at the hospital. I'd wanted to go with but the guy was adamant and I at least trusted him not to use a pillow on him so I let him go...Rashid had gone with him as well.
"Riley!"
"Hey! You okay, where's Blane?"
"Was still in class when I came out."
"You still haven't talked to him."
"Nope!"
It's not really a must for friends to know about your 'love mishaps' but if that friend is boyfriends with a friend of your mishap then they would get to know eventually, right?
Barnard thinks he likes Taffy. If he doesn't give up and then the kid who had kissed first started liking him, we'd have more drama to deal with. So, he had to tell Blane before this becomes a full blown virus. I know how disruptive Barnard chooses to be when it came to emotions.
"If you want to talk...I am ready to listen. You and Blane are friends. If you don't ever want to meet Barnard just let me know...through him."
Afterall, today was the first day he picked my call, I wasn't expecting it to be the norm. I should also tell him sorry for what's to come... he'll survive.
"It's okay!"
Okay? Wait, did he also like this guy...already? Should I advise him against it? How many people had fallen for Barnard's charm only to end up getting hurt?
I turned to the entrance but Blane was still not out. Just then, my phone chimed and I quickly got it out thinking it was him only to see it was from Barnard.
Your boyfriend's here.
Here, where is here? I tried calling him but he wasn't receiving.
"Looks like Blane went to find Barnard."
"What? Why? What did you tell him?"
"I've been here with you, when did I tell him? I'll tell you one thing though, he could be smart when he wants to."
Let's just hope he was the first person he went to. Blane has always said he doesn't trust my friends then his friend gets sketchy yet stands out talking to me, something he never found himself doing, its obvious he'd think one of my friends was involved with whatever mess.
