I think now that we aren't friends anymore, he feels like he can have his own opinions about me, feelings, thoughts. He used to do it when we weren't that close, but then we grew a lot closer, and he stopped, he stopped looking at me in class, he stopped telling me things, he stopped putting his arm around me. But now, now I've caught him looking at me a couple of times because I like him, so I would obviously sneakily look at him, but sometimes, he's looking at me, and I have a feeling it's because we aren't friends anymore, and he can feel whatever he wants toward me. He knows that I used to like him, but I never stopped, but I will never know if he ever has had feelings for me because he doesn't open up to people, he tells you he's sad but doesn't tell you why he's sad and sits there looking gloomy. I just don't know how to read him. He's a closed book glued shut for fear that people won't like his story, but what I've read so far is amazing, how he's gone through so much, and came out of it better than before. He's my favorite character in that book.
