I am Emo (Ceirra)

I was walking outside when I saw Shyam sitting on the ground, his long black hair covering most of his face. He nodded silently to me as I passed. I returned the nod, frowning slightly at the bands he was wearing over his wrists, a sure sign he had cut himself recently. I worry about Shyam, he gets depressed way more than any of the rest of us do. And by that I mean all 3 of the rest of us. We try to stick in small groups.
I remember my date with him Saturday night and think about going over to say something about it to him, but decide against it. It’s just not something I would normaly do. He’d probably think I was going preppy or something.
Just thinking about that makes me want to laugh. I alow myself a small smile that quickly fades when I see Jesse staring at me. He flashes me his quirky one-sided smile which I don’t return. He turns away, talking to Cooper’s best friend, Ryan, about something.
I wonder where Jake is, but then I see him. He’s by Anima’s car.
She’s blushing.
