Chapter 5 - 5. I Caught Myself, You Caught Yourself

"The Kassandra Schmidt?" Mitchell said in a surprised manner

"Yeah!"

"But you haven't told me anything about you having a crush on her!"

"Well, that was before I fell for her, you know? Like, the whole ex talking about other boys while we're messaging each other incident, right?"

"Yeah?"

"I totally like, you know, I became honest with Jessica that I'm no longer in love with her and instead I'm in love with Sandy, right?"

"Yeah..? What does that correlate with the Great Schmidt-Ashford Relationship?" He asks me, confused.

"Well, at the point of that relationship, I thought about it. If they said that they like me, why would they continue on about their best friend and ask me what is a good gift for them?" I say, then added, "Well, that was the point where I stopped being infatuated with her and caught myself for the first time." I say, sounding disappointed due to the fact I remembered that bullshit once again.

"Well, I guess you can say the same to me, I think. Well, my situation didn't happen like yours, but you know the time I came out to you as Bisexual, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Well. There was this boy, he was cute, and actually, I was surprised when he confessed to me, I was like, did he know? and I immediately said yes, I'd be yours. But when we were going out. He...just talked with other girls and boys, hell, flirted even with them. Even when we were on a date and I was on my way back to our table, he was either flirting with a waiter or a waitress. I don't even know if he is heterosexual or pansexual or bisexual. Maybe that was just idiotic of me to say yes to a stranger I don't even know that I, myself had a crush on, and like what you said, I also caught myself and broke things with us."

"Well, I mean, that dude was a dick, did I happen to know him or something? Like, have you introduced me to him?"

"Yeah, I did, you don't remember?" He asks

"Well, uh...no. I don't."

"His name was Winston."

"Oh, that son of a bitch, huh?"

"Yeah!" He said.

And for the whole night. We talked for the first time in years. We talked like there was never tomorrow. We talked about failed relationships, we talked about how our lives have been going in the past four to five years. These are the only times I've wished to be a kid again, meeting up with friends in the canteen, main hall, and in the classroom. But you can't change time, and you can't go back. You just keep going forward. We just need to wait until the next lifetime when you can see them and grow up together again.
