Chapter 53
Not that he was ever close to David in the first place. He spent his senior years arguing with David every time they met each other on campus. He had no idea what he did wrong, but David seemed to hate his guts. At first, he tried to work things out. Then he grew mad, as well. Things escalated from bad to worse after that. They would quarrel and throw snide remarks at each other during all their encounters.
It was strange how things turned out. He sat across from David at the diner. They ordered their food and drinks, and they didn’t know what to say to each other. It was as if they were out on their first date. They were both so awkward right then and there. Tobias yearned to utter something witty to break the tension, but his mind was a complete blank. In the end, he simply stared at David, admiring the pretty man he had been crushing on all those years ago. Judging by how he felt now, he still had the same feeling of infatuation.
