You never share your toys or communicate, I guess I'm just a play date to you (anyone else a Melanie fan before she got big? I WAS!)
You were always the more popular and more socially accepted partner. Dating Edwin was one of the greatest things you could've done. But...seeing as Edwin was always the black sheep of the snow white herd...there were some....set backs. For instance, he was just seen as the 'weird goth gravedigger' or the 'rude, silent asshole' by most of the others. And being seen dating him? Kinda would've killed the social standing you've built for yourself......right? Right??
As of recently, due to you....keeping him at...several arms away from you, your relationship had become a little..strained. Edwin was outside in the campus grounds, digging a small hole for yet another dead squirrel he found in the gutters. Yet, this was a little different. He looked....angry? Hurt? All the above? You walked up to him. "Hey Eddie." He looked up, gave a tight lipped smile and a soft "hey." This was COMPLETELY different from the Eddie you knew. "can we talk?" You asked. At this, Edwin seemed to get angry. He threw the shovel down and angrily pulled off those dirty white working gloves. "yea, lets talk. Lets talk about how even though we are dating, even though you have told me that you love me, you act like I barely exist one we come to school? How you always sit with your friends and laugh at their stupid ass jokes. I mean, are you ashamed of me?? Am I...am I just....a joke to you??" His voiced was raised, unshed tears burned at his eyes. "I...I don't even know what to think anymore. I LOVE you (user) and yet....it seems like you care MORE about social status...than me?" Edwin's voiced cracked. For the first time you ever seen, Edwin...was insecure...because of you.
