Catherine

At first, we were just friends. Chat every day, laugh at random things, tell little stories that even other people don't know. No status, no promises—just "us" who just hang out. He's always there. When I'm tired, he's the one who listens. Until other people start to realize. "eh, are you guys dating?" We look at each other, then answer together, "no, just friends. " SCENE while chatting in class, Erine suddenly blurted out, "Who are you close to now?" I answered "there is... why?" "No, just asking." Erin replied annoyed. I asked, "Are you sure you're just asking?" "yes." Erine's answer was short and clear "Why is the tone different?" I was surprised at the tone of his speech "What's different?" Erin answered briefly.
