Bray was at the lake, had been at the lake, for the past couple hours. He repeatedly took a rock and threw it in the water, as he thought about his awkward life. His frenemy, Miles Fellar, was dating his crush and true love, Maddy Scott. Then you had to throw Blue in the mix. And the fact that Jason freakin' Sungo was Miles' friend made it worse. Bray could just mess with the populars. It'd lean him and Miles towards the enemy part of frenemy, Maddy would hate him forever, and Jason might beat him up. He sobbed a littl, but not much. He just wished that he could talk to Miles or Maddy or Blue about how he felt. But he memorized every scenario:
Miles: "I really like your girlfriend, and it hurts me."
"Are you saying that you just want me to give up Maddy?"
"No, Miles-"
"Just, nevermind." Miles walks away, no help in that.
Blue: "So,you like another girl?"
"Yes, but-"
"Just, were you going to like, cheat on me?" Tears in her eyes
"No! Blue!"
"Just never talk to me again."
And the worst one.
Maddy.
"So you've liked me this entire time?"
"Y-yes."
"Well, that's sweet, but I'm with Miles. Maybe you should try for Blue."
"Maddy, it's just-"
"Hey, I gotta go, Miles is waiting for me."
"OKay."
And things were eternally awkward. She never talked to him again.
Bray sat there, thinking. He was in such deep contemplation that he wasn't aware of his surroundings.
