Chapter 6
-2000-
~(Yuri)~
I was going to go to prom, but I couldn’t do it. I just sat in the parking lot, I was all dressed up and just sat in the parking lot. I gave up after about 30 minutes of trying to get myself to go inside.
I went to find a phone to call dawn because I needed to do something and luckily, she wasn’t going to the dance because she lost track of time and didn’t get the tickets.
I found a phone and called her, lucky for me she answered and was very frantic for some reason.
“Why are you calling me you should be in the dance”
“Well, I sort of bailed on it”
“Why would you do that”
“I don’t know I just got really nervous, can I come over”
“Fine”
Ever since the first time she came to my house we have always gone to hers because it is easier due to the fact her parents were really chill.
I went over to hers and we hanged in her basement and watched movies but of course we couldn’t watch them in silence because I don’t think she has once been silent for more than 3 minutes.
“So, you didn’t want to see Charley at the dance”
“Well, if I saw him, it wouldn’t need anything anyway because he doesn’t know me”
“Dude, you went to school together for like a while, so he has to know you”
“I don’t think he does”
“I heard from some girls in my Spanish class that he’s gay”
“I don’t think that’s true”
“Are you sure because I think it makes a lot of sense”
“Why exactly”
“Well like mid freshman year he lost like all his friends and now doesn’t have any but that one new kid”
“So, what everyone loses friends when they go to high school”
“But I also think that he might be with that boy he’s friends with”
“Again why”
“One I heard a rumor, and they have been really close since the camping trip”
“And two the kid, Emilio, lives down the street from me and I saw Charley going to his house”
“Dawn these examples mean nothing”
“Maybe to you but I’m standing my ground”
We went back to watching the movie with some of her commentary sprinkled in. I thought was Charley gay I mean maybe but I really don’t think so but how would I know the only way I get gossip is through Dawn and I don’t believe her half the time. Honestly it is a skill of mind to just block out people's voices in class and stuff.
