Who: Jac and Calvin When: Saturday night, Feb. 20 (backdated) Where: The Parker's house Why: Calvin is sad :( Rating: Low Status: In Progress
He never asked for much, really; as long as he was left alone with his book or his homework he would generally be fine. He didn't bother people, people didn't bother him. That was good. He liked things that way. And honestly, Calvin hadn't been trying to bother anyone when he'd invited Katie to come rock climbing with him. He was just trying to be nice! Having some one-on-one time with Katie was certainly a bonus, but that didn't make it a date, much less something that Cal felt either of them deserved to be teased over. He'd figured that he'd have to deal with a snide remark from James, but some of the comments in James' journal were just mean. Cal might've been angry, but given all of the stupidity Calvin had been put through this week, anger had long ago given way to depression.
And so, there he was, standing outside Jac's door. He couldn't help but feel a little foolish - he was fifteen! He should be beyond running to his big sister for comfort by now! - but nevertheless he knocked, his head inclined in shame. Jac always knew how to make him feel better.
