Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:04 am"yeah, I just felt like hanging out here." Isabel said.
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:10 amDerek nodded, then frowned a little. "Everything ok?" he asked as he cracked open his soda.
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:20 am"I found my notebook." Isabel said "Or rather, Aiden found my notebook."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:28 am"Oh well that's good, right?" he asked, rather oblivious.
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:30 am"Yeah, I guess. If you like people reading your diary."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:58 amDerek winced. "Ah, geez... did he read it? He didn't show anyone, did he? Because that's just a total douchebag move if he did."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:02 am"He didn't show anyone, but he read it." Isabel said "Which is bad enough."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:13 amDerek winced. "Yeah, but... well, at least it was just him? I mean, he didn't read it cover to cover, did he?" he asked.
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:50 pm"I don't know." Isabel said "He read enough to figure out that I wrote it."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:36 pmDerek winced again. "Well... your best bet? Just act like there's nothing wrong. Then he'll be more likely to forget about it, and no one will end up asking what's wrong and asking him what was in it, you know?"
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:40 pm"Yeah, I guess you're right." Isabel said with a smile."It probably doesn't matter to other people as much as it matters to me."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 5:48 pm"Probably not. Or else people would just feel weird reading it or thinking about it," he said. "Aiden'd probably just as soon forget what he read, too. Makes things too awkward for everyone, you know?"
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:14 pm"Yeah, you're probably right." Isabel said "I should stop hiding out."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 7:19 pm"Definitely. Just go do what you'd do, and if anyone says anything to you, and I don't think they will, you just remember that they're the ones who are wrong for going through your private thoughts or talking about them. Call them on that."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:22 pm"Yeah." Isabel said "I know I'm being dumb but well, a lot of it was about this guy that I'm in love with. And I don't want him to find out."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 8:32 pmDerek winced. "Well, if you have it back now, if he ends up finding out about it just deny it. Say that they just made it up to embarrass you. Probably won't happen, though."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 12:21 am"Yeah." Isabel said "He's really loyal to his girl, so, yeah. He'd probably just laugh it off."
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 2:11 am"See? It'll be okay, I promise. And if it comes down to it, just tell me who's giving you grief and I'll go make 'em stop, okay?"
Re: Dying.Of.Shame.
Posted: Fri Jul 22, 2011 2:27 am"Thanks."
