Hmm... Not sure what to say about this one, seeing as I don't have any feedback from several previous (completely my fault, I blame none of you.)
December 17th -- Johnny
He wasn't quite sure what to think at the moment. Oliver had called two days earlier to assure him that Robert would be at the party. Which, of course, made Johnny wonder what the little conniver was up to. Oliver wasn't half as innocent as most people thought, and Johnny knew it. Oliver was his best friend after all.
What did it matter if Robert was at the party anyway? Somewhere in the back of his mind, Johnny knew the answer, but he wasn't quite ready to admit it. At least, not just yet. Call it fear, pride, stubbornness, or whatever.
Yeah, he was scared. Scared if he admitted it even to himself, Robert would ditch him with a half-moment's notice. And pride was there too. Part of it had been an act for years, and part of it was real. What was completely real was how stubborn he tended to be. 'Red-head temper' some labeled it. It was just part of his nature.
He decided that, even if Robert didn't show, he'd go anyway. Have some fun without the other for a while if it came to that. He'd done it before, could do it again. How the hell had he gotten on this subject again?

Me? Messing with Johnny? No...
