I sat quietly in a field of moonflowers and looked at the sunset. It's purplish hue made everything look even more beautiful than it already was. The stars were barely visible and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a couple. I sighed, thinking...

'Why can't I love someone like that? I wish I could feel. I wish I had a significant other. I wish someone would teach me how to love, to feel.'

"Tobias!" I look around for the person who called my name but, there is no one. I feel something shake me but, I don't understand what's going on. "Tobias, wake up!" Suddenly, everything turns black. I open my eyes and I see my mom shaking me awake. 'Oh, that's what that was.' I thought to myself.

"David is supposed to be here in half an hour so get up and get dressed." She walked out before I could process what she said.

I sat in my bedroom, looking around for entertainment. I sighed deeply as I was bored out of my mind. 'I wonder what David is doing today. Maybe I should text him? Nah, what if he's busy.' I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw David walking by my house. I ran down to him. "Hey Felix, what's up?" He asked.

"Nothing really. I was just about to ask if you wanted to hangout." I smile sheepishly.

"Well, I'm hanging out with Tobi today."

"Can I come too?" I say as I avoid eye contact with him.

"Ummm... well... I kinda just... wanted to... hmmm..."  He didn't continue. He just stood there.

'Does he not want to hangout with me? Does he not want to be my friend anymore!? Maybe I should have been a better friend? AHHHH JUST FINISH YOUR SENTENCE!'

"You kinda just wanted to... what?" I asked, trying to not make it obvious I was nervous.

"I kinda just wanted to hangout with him. You know, the two of us. I'm sorry. Maybe we can hangout tomorrow." I frowned at his words. I couldn't do tomorrow. I had chores.

"I can't really do tomorrow... so..." I fiddled with my fingers.

"Oh, then maybe next time? I should probably get going... bye Felix." He turned and began to walk again.

"Yeah... bye David." I went back into my room and tried to not let tear come out of my eyes.

'I don't understand. Why didn't he want to hangout with me? Why only him and Tobi? Why couldn't I go with them?'

I flopped onto my bed and let sleep consume me.
