Awkward

Text sent.
I wait for a reply 
From my best friend...
Instead her brother answers
"she's asleep."
I reply..."Of course"
He send's another
"You know what's weird...I like you"
I read it. I read it again. *facepalm*
I reply-"yeah I know your other sister told me"
his reply; "Oh...do you like me?"
I throw my phone while my hands fly up in exasperation...
OH CRUEL MERCILESS WORLD WHY ME?
This is so awkward...I wish [my friend] would wake up and rescue me
curses fly out of my mouth as I try to decide how best to say:
No.
Finally I spill out some randomness-with obvious rejection-and press send.
I then toss my phone onto my dog's bed, (which she doesn't use).
I try to sleep...(ha!)
That was increadibley awkward

Yes. That awkward moment when you realize you hurt someone, or hurt yourself. Well expressed. - Chuck
