Fractured Sunshine
Look at this mess. If I don't get it cleaned up before Naboo wakes up, I'll be in deep shaman juju.
Where's Howard to help me clear this up anyway? It was his party in the first place, so why isn't he helping me? Off with That Girl, no doubt… it isn't fair, she wasn't actually meant to be attracted to him – I paid her! It wasn't meant to go that far!
And what about what he said before the… kiss… happened?
"When I make that leap across the physical boundary, it'll be forever, sir!" I don't think I believed that when he said it, it just seemed to me like an excuse for his awkwardness around girls… and a downright lie afterwards cos he switched from me to That Girl in a second!
So the kiss happens – albeit only because the head shaman was dangerously close to cutting me in two – and part of me changed. I don't think I would have done it if there wasn't some attraction there, I suppose, but I don't think I expected such a strong reaction to it from Howard. Even though, minutes before, he'd pretty much told me that he'd give his heart to anyone who took his first kiss.
I was really, really stupid, though. Pushed him away. I'm not even sure why I did it. Probably shock from the way he'd reacted. I mean, like I said before, I must have had some sort of underlying feeling for him, but for him to openly reciprocate something that I didn't even know I felt was… overwhelming. So I stuttered my way through a denial, acting like he'd got the wrong end of the stick.
It really must have been the wrong thing to do, though, cos as soon as we were off that roof, That Girl turns up and he just…forgets about me, drops me, as if I didn't even exist!
Maybe, this is just Howard showing he attaches himself to the first person that shows him the slightest bit of affection – as I told him last night. After all, why would Howard have any feelings like that for me? For one, there's nothing he even likes that much about me. In fact, I don't really understand why we're even friends, cos we're about as different as you can get. I mean, I know, he's the broken fractured side, and I'm the sunshine and rainbows side. That doesn't always work, though. Sometimes I have to be broken and fractured, like this morning. Maybe we've swapped roles - I can imagine with her Howard's going to be feeling a lot more sunny… and I'll be feeling fractured, as if I've lost a part of myself to someone else.
…oh, here he is. He looks happy. Happier than I've ever seen him. He probably lost his virginity last night, to a girl who I paid to make him agree to a party.
Well, I've just about finished clearing up anyway, so I'm going to make some rubbish excuse to Howard about a hangover and go back to bed. I don't think I want to see him for a while.
