Anger bubbled in my belly. What the heck? How could he be so insensitive? For the first time ever, I wanted to punch my friend. The feeling was so intense I had to surreptitiously breathe deeply. And seriously, why was I reacting this way?
Taking another deep breath just to calm my ire, I looked away from him. "Forget it," I growled, returning my attention to the screen even though I was not seeing anything on it. Whather I understood my feelings or reactions on the matter or not, I instantly regretted attempting that reply to his question. What the hell had I been thinking? I already knew Max could be a snub, I should have kept my mouth shut. I should have told him it was none of his business why I was in disarray last night. However, deep down, I wanted badly to share my experience with someone, I needed to know if these feelings coursing through my body were unnatural or stupid or inpractical. And you else do I speak to if not my best friend?
