[Batty]

So I have a little issue with making friends in real life. I know, shocker, right? But I'm afraid to, because SOMETHING always happens, and they either start to just kind of drift off without a word, or someone sways them to think I'm not "cool enough" for them. Whatever. I've gotten over it. But last month, I went camping for Beltane [Pagan holiday, FTW.], and I made a friend. Needless to say, it had started out him having this huge crush on me, finding out I was engaged, STILL liking me even though I told him friends or nadda. Oh, and to boot, he's 16. I'm 21, this month. Anywhore, he's a great guy. Really caring, and all that. We have tons in common, [we have the same fricken birthday] and my Aunt was the one who basically told me to go for it, even though he's not my age.

When she said go for it, I thought she meant friend-wise. Apparently, she thought different. Anywho, this kid and I, we're JUST friends. And I came, in the last month, to really see him as a close friend. Well, my Aunt [who, I won't go into detail about. Because I don't want you guys wanting to rip your eyes out at the end of this post] took his mother, and another friend of ours, to Disney. He wasn't invited. I wasn't invited. So we had been texting about that and shit, and I come to find out, she tells my mom the other day she thinks I'M LEADING HIM ON, and that I had been talking shit. First of all, how the FUCK does she know what the hell we talk about? He lives 4 hours away from my aunt. 5 hours away from ME. So.. how the hell?

Anyway, he hasn't been talking to me very much. For someone who had, starting out, texted me EVERY morning to say hello, all throughout the day, texted me just before bed, to tell me to rest well, to... radio silence? I mean... what. the. FUCK? I'm super pissed about this, because, well, I DON'T make friends easily. And I certainly don't make them on a whim. I pick and choose who I befriend, because if I don't get a good vibe from 'em, I don't want to have anything to do with them. Call me paranoid, but thats how it is.

I think my aunt had something to do with it. I think she said SOMETHING to his mother, now all of a sudden, he won't talk to me. I am NOT a happy camper. At all.
