My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

It's been a little over a week since I started recognizing and talking to other people again. I turned my phone on all the time and even opened all of Tyler's apology texts so he can see that I have read them. I still haven't responded, I haven't talked to him in a month, this has to be slow. I also started wearing the choker necklace.

I figure if Tyler is going to forgive me, he's going to do it while looking at a piece of jewelry around my neck that means a lot to me and from another guy. It's really too fancy to wear everyday, but I feel better with it on, almost like my head is clear having something from them so close. Same with the bracelets, It feels wrong to take them off somehow, Like i feel physically ill when I take them off to shower or workout.

There are so many games to relationships, it's stupid. I wish that I didn't need Tyler to think that I was slowly forgiving him, but that is the only way he will trust me. This is why I am a better warrior. I can beat the sh*t out of someone for pissing me off and then call it a day and move on with life. These games are exhausting.

I got to my Ecology class early and sat in my former spot, where Tyler, Mike and Robbie still normally occupy. It would be my luck that I decided to talk to them and they aren't here today. I waited for what seemed like forever, the class was basically full with only a minute or two to start when finally all three walked through having what appeared to be a very serious conversation. None of them noticed me until they were three rows from the top. Mike saw me first and just stopped, Robbie then Tyler bumped into him.

"What the hell man?!" Robbie hissed. "Move your ass before we get in trouble."
