"It makes me want. to. die." Bobby emphasized, eyes widening with every breath. Their metamorphosis into 'old people' may just mean that the geriatric were simply old friends much like them who simply had one too many awkward situation get in the way of normalcy but didn't want to lose the friendship. Tabby and Bobby simply got their awkward going a lot younger. Kids these days.
When Tabitha went to look out the window, his gaze followed her. He was hopeful the movement meant she had some idea or was going to be inspired with gossip out of the blue like in the old days. Instead, the room remained calm and things got unusually quiet once again. Bobby's eyes departed Tabitha, feeling awkward watching her when she wasn't looking at him. Was that a sign? That he didn't want to take advantage of her whereas any other hot girl he'd totally be lusting over between every blink? Was it a respect or a lack of interest? Romance. Hormones. Women. They were all so confusing.
