Adam said he'd come over today at four. It's now 5:26. I have class at 6 and must walk to get there.

I don't know if he's even left school yet to come over. I don't even know if he will be coming over.

If you're going to stand me up, for fuck's sake tell me. I hate this. I get my hopes up only to wait, and have them slowly crushed...

He instant messages me at 5:06 wondering if I'm mad at him for being so late.
silenceshadow (5:06:18pm) : no, get your ass over here!
At 5:19, he's still at school. It's 5:30, and he's not here.

We're not dating, so I have no excuse to be mad at him, no excuse to be upset, no real reason to feel like crying ... but ... but ...

but he said he'd be here?

When someone says they're going to meet you somewhere at a certain time, it doesn't matter whether it's a "date" or just "friends"...it's acceptable to be at least a little angry and a lot disappointed when they don't show up. I would expect an apology and an explanation.

I got both. Seeing the way he'd made me feel was all the punishment needed, which was how it should be. When he finally did show up, I took off the straight-face mask I'd been wearing so I could look like I was functioning in class, and let him see how I was really feeling...

we kissed and made up the next morning.

He did explain ... he didn't attempt to justify it, for which I am very grateful, because attempting to justify the reason he did have... would not have flown.

He apologized... I got the feeling that if I'd asked for an apology on hands and knees kissing my toes I would have gotten one. I didn't ask.
