Do You Want Me To Hate You?

"I don't get you."

he says looking at me as if he were searching for something in my eyes. I look at him with a confused look and he laughs gently,

"how can you be so calm with everything going on? How can you just agree to whatever he says? But most importantly why do you act like you hate me around other people but when we're alone you act so normal and you say you don't?"

I look at him confused, and then it hits me, "Do you want me to hate you?"

All of this time i never realized it but whenever we were around other people he always smiled and acted okay around me, but whenever we were alone he always acted cold.

I look at him and he still has his head down. "Answer me! Do you want me to hate you?!"

he then looks up at me and gives me a cold look, and that answers it all for me, but I'm still curious about one thing,

"if you hate me so much then why did you want to take me out for dinner?" But for this, I actually have a speculation for, he most likely wanted me to go with him so he could get me to hate him.

"If you've figured this much out then you probably already figured that part out."

I looked at him, "I don't understand, why would you want me to..?"

he looked at me, "nothing good ever comes from being my friend."

and after that he patted me on the head, said goodnight and walked up the stairs.
