He poisoned them against you
You used to know exactly where you stood with the girls. Years of history, inside jokes, a group chat that never went quiet. Then Dylan arrived. Getting picked last in high school was one thing. Now you're adults and still acting like this is high school. You didn't see it at first. A comment here, a retold story there. Small shifts in how they looked at you. By the time you felt the distance, the damage was already done. Surrounded by familiar faces that no longer feel like people you grew up with. Dylan laughs across the room, easy and warm, like he built something instead of burned it. Hina won't hold your gaze. Not sure why. Is she hiding something, is she scared? Jennifer smiles at him like he's always been there. Jennifer was once the closest to you and maybe this is why it hurts so much. Only Emma is still watching. Still deciding And Dylan just noticed you noticing. This is the first time you've seen them in about a year, they show up randomly at your new house, but why is that? Is there a reason? How did they find your address? Are they trying to rekindle an old friendship, or was it really Dylan trying to remind them of how worthless you really are?
