Walls

Cleo and I aren't on speaking terms right now. The cold shoulders I gave her are being returned back to me via express mail. I know I kinda deserve this, still I thought she'd understand where my pain was coming from. Daphne and her aren't hitting it on anymore as friends. I'm low key glad about it, and I hope it stays that way. Mike doesn't even try to mess with me now, he can't even stay in the same room with me for more than two seconds.

But even though I should take that as a win, Cleo not speaking to me is really a major loss for me. She doesn't even look in my direction, I try to talk to her almost every day, but she walks away every time. I don't even try my luck to call her, because I'm pretty sure she's blocked my number by now. This has been going on for a couple months now, and were close to the holiday season. I wanna make it up to her, but I really can't right now because my mind is too stressed out with these end of term examinations that make up 50% of our reports.

And I really can't afford to fail any of these exams. It's really because my mom will take it as evidence of me acting so differently lately. So right now I can't focus on my relationship problems, so Cleo will have to wait for now. She seems to have the same intentions too, simply because exam season is worse for her. Her Dad is breathing down her neck by almost all the time.

He keeps her under constant lock and key at home, forcing her to study. I know this because I haven't seen her hanging out by the Saturday Highlights lately. I don't even go there anymore these days. Really Cleo was the only reason I ever did.

The exams came full force, but I managed to pull a pass on all them by some kind of luck. Consultation Day wasn't too bad this term. The teachers mostly had good things to say about me. And during that day I finally got the chance to see Cleo's Dad in person for the man he was. And I must say, he's a scary type of Dad. He keeps a serious face on all the time, constantly looking at his watch while stomping his foot in a sign of impatience.

I'm kinda glad that I didn't meet him at Cleo's birthday party. I probably would of made the worst first impression. Her mom seems to be the complete opposite, but she looks like the type who doesn't choose to be friendly with any random person. Everyone keeps asking each other what they're going to do for this holiday. I know for a fact that I'm going to be stuck at my grandmas this whole holiday, which isn't a bad thing. But it really isn't that exciting too.

All the other teens tell each other that they are going to all these luxurious places for the holidays. Dubai, Hawaii, Malaysia, just to name the few places. They're all so lucky to be able to go to such places. The farthest place I ever went to was my uncles place a few kilometers out of town.

Sad hey, I know.

I just really hope Cleo finally forgives me while she's away for the holidays. I hope she doesn't forget about me. I hope she at least misses me enough that she comes back to me and we go back to way things were. But maybe I should act like a grown up once she comes back and make this relationship official. Maybe then we could be on good terms again. And I really hope Daphne catches some deadly disease wherever she's going and just drops and dies.

And I'm not sorry for saying that.

But what I really hope for is Cleo and I going back to what we used to be and tear down these walls between us.
