But we got closer in high school. We had some similar interests, and she indicated that she didn't particularly care if people judged her for being around me anymore.

Hussie is going to make an epilogue to Homestuck. HE said it should be out soon.
-
:I
-
So she came over to my house all the time, and we spent all of our time in shared classes together. I didn't want to, but I got really attached to her.
-
He said that there may be an epilogue. But yes, I'm quite hopeful for it.
What? -
Oh, jeez. I did. I got really attached to her. She was gorgeous. She was so sweet, and she liked a lot of the same stuff I did.
-
Now that I'm standing back from the situation, I can see that she had her flaws, which back then, I was willing to overlook. She spent every waking moment she was with me on her phone talking to everyone else. Even when we would watch movies. And when she wasn't doing that, she was telling me about what a good friend she was to other people.
-
But I didn't give a s--- about that at the time. I think I intentionally ignored those flaws because she was just so great to me.

;w;

We made plans, too. That's something I need to learn to stop doing. If I stop making plans with people, it can't hurt when they don't come true. But we did. We made plans to live together and go on adventures. We even went to furniture stores and just had nice days of picking out furniture and color themes for the flat we were gonna have together. I was absolutely intoxicated by the possibilities she presented.

What?

Eventually, I realized that I had something of a crush on her. And she had recently broken up with a boyfriend. And realized that she was pansexual. It seemed like a great opportunity, so I asked her out. She explained to me that she was still upset about her recent break up. She didn't want me to be a "rebound". That was understandable, and even if she just didn't want to go out with me, I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable. So I moved on. And we went about our little friendship together. Things were still pretty okay.
-
Then she kind of.. quietly stopped. She didn't text me anymore. She didn't message me. She blew me off in classes and in the hallway. She moved to sit with her new batch of friends during lunch and left me alone. She drifted off. That happens a lot. It hurt a little more with her, because I'd had so much hope for her. But it happens. I moved on. I accepted that she didn't want me around anymore.
-
And then, after about a month, she came back! I felt cautious, but after a week or two of steady communication, I began to feel hopeful again.
-
She explained that she had gotten in with a rather bad crowd, tried a a few drugs with them, tried alcohol (didn't care for alcohol), engaged in some risky behaviors she knew her mother would condemn her for. She told me that she realized she had cut out a few people that were important to her as she'd become absorbed in this new and toxic group of people, and that she wanted to reestablish those bonds.
