Leaving the Friendzone

"Yeah, it's me, KJ," he replied. "The real one, if that makes any sense."


"Oh." The skin on my face crawled with heat. "I'm sorry. About all I just said. I had no idea it was you."


"I mean I did feel hurt at first," he chuckled. "Until I realized what you were saying."


"I'm sorry," I said again. "I would never say those things to you if I knew it was actually . . . you."


"You are forgiven," he said, his foreign accent seeming to get thicker. "What happened though? Why the sudden outburst?"


I sighed, walking back to my bed already. "It was nothing."


"You know you can tell me whatever, right?" 


I paused, looking down at my free hand folded on my lap. "I guess so."


"I know so. So tell me. What happened?" He pressed.


Again, I sighed. I did want to tell KJ, but I just didn't feel comfortable about doing it. What if he mocked me too? Like Anabel. Says the same things she said to me.
