Graduation Day

------

And this was it.

Last day of my junior year in this freaky school.

I succeeded in chasing away one person who added value to my life for no reason.

No fucking reason.

Any time my mind flitted back to it, I thought.

I could have just walked back.

I could have just accepted his apology and explanation.

I shouldn't have tried to play hard to get.

I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't.

And the worse part of it all was the after feeling of I couldn't.

I couldn't change the decisions I had already made.

That feeling brought me back to the reality that what had been done had been done.

I was hyperventilating because my play was to be presented next.

I didn't feel so good about it.

Why?

Because I couldn't take the credit for everything.

Dennis was the one who reorganized the play and made it something.

I?

I'm doubting if playwriting was even my thing now.

I could always drop out.

Yeah, and confirm Gemma's theory of how lame you were.

I could always back –

My phone buzzed from my pocket.

I checked who it was from and saw an unsaved number.

I opened the message and it read, Can we meet up?

Obviously, I wouldn't answer an odd number and I wondered who was willing to meet me.

My phone buzzed again in my hand and two other messages came up.

Please.

We need to talk.

I shared the contact with the true caller app on my phone to check who it was.

The person didn't have an exact ID.

It just said the person worked as a student.

Confirming it was a student, I felt more at ease.

Then I remembered giving Frank my number.

Maybe he had information about Dennis.

Like right now?

I replied to him.

I was seriously anticipating seeing Dennis.

Yes.

He replied immediately.

Where?

I asked.

Chick-fil-A.

My face squeezed in confusion.

That's an hour drive from here.

Why can't you just come to school to tell me what you want?
