“Hey, are you doing Ok, Ryan?” she said.
“Y-Yeah… I’m doing fine.” I replied.
“Listen, I’m sure she has a good reason for saying no.”
“She just doesn’t like me, that’s all.”
I tried not to talk like I was all sad about it.
“Hey, you shouldn’t bottle this up inside. It’s not good for you. That’s how people are tempted to cut them self”
I looked kinda surprised and looked at the knife. Was I really about to do that just now?
“Ryan? You there?” Emily said. “Hello?”
I hung up the phone. I didn’t feel like talking much. I put the phone away and I headed to my room. I kept thinking about the knife and what Emily said.
“That’s how people are tempted to cut them self.”
I got a text message from Ashley.

I sighed and looked over at the computer. Should I ignore her and leave her alone? Should I get on just to be polite.
Ugh, what should I do? Everything was getting so confusing. I decided to not talk to her and laid down on my bed. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
