Chapter 17:

Second verse, again

Dreams of Reality


"If I didn't care about your point of view, I wouldn't be sitting here, listening to you. It was the first time for me to see a new person in a class getting constantly surrounded. I honestly thought that you enjoyed it, but to be told that it makes your life worse is... sad."

       I cringed a bit after saying that, but it was how I feel about it. I would never guess that it impacts her this much.

"That makes me happy, I was worried that you might agree to all this only out of politeness. You seemed to me like that type of guy who doesn't talk to people much."

 "What do you mean? I talk to people, and I have some friends. I just don't need a lot of them."

       this made me a little mad, maybe I was disappointed that she looks at me that way.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way. You just seemed like the quieter type of person."

       Why I am being told that being more introverted is nothing to be ashamed of? I might be upset about it, but when I looked at her, her smile crushed all those negative thoughts.

"It's fine, I just did not expect that."

       I tried to laugh my previous reaction off. I looked at my phone and I was surprised that an hour have passed, even though it felt like a few minutes. I noticed that she also looked at the time on her watches.

"I am sorry but It's time for me to go home. I must."

"Is it far away? I can go with you if you want."

"No, just a couple of minutes, so let's go, or I will be late!"

       She was excited for some reason, but after what I've heard, I am happy that she is happy. The walk was really fast, so we barely talked, but it wasn't uncomfortable at least for me. My walk from home is going to be a little longer, but at least I have some time to think about today.

       I honestly don't know what to think though. I am still a little surprised. But It was explained to me why today happened and to be honest, the time was well spent in my opinion.

       I learned something new and maybe made a new friend and if she wants my company then there is no reason to push her away, especially if she obviously struggles with her situation. The longer I went the darker it got. I arrived home at night basically. The day was over, but I felt like I want to do something. I wasn't tired at all. Then I remembered that there was one thing that I hadn't done in a long time.
