Again, Malo didn't come to pick me up as usual. I don't know why, but he keeps sending me a text every time saying he was busy, and I have noticed that he has been acting a little distant lately.
I stared down at my phone screen as the cool air of the night hit my face, his short message looking completely blank and uncaring on the display. In class, his jovial manner was gone. His usual loud laughs and complains were completely missing from the room, leaving his desk feeling totally quiet. He barely talked, and during lunch time he wasn't speaking at all. He had just pushed his food around his plate with a fork, staring straight at the wall like a ghost.
