Summer of the Geek (2010)
Summer of the Geek
“I knew I could call my dad for a ride, but I didn’t want to have to explain the tears sliding down my cheeks.
Dex had lied to me. He’d let me think that things next year would go on just the same as they had that summer. He’d let me think that we’d be together.
If it had been the other way around, if I were the one leaving, I’d have told him, I thought. And then I suddenly realized that this wasn’t entirely true. I hadn’t, after all, told Dex about the possibility that I might be moving to Lond...on for the upcoming school year.
But it wasn’t the same. Not at all. For one thing, I hadn’t decided yet whether I was actually going to move to London. Once I had made that decision, I would have told Dex immediately. The only reason I had kept the possibility from him was that I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do. He, on the other hand, had already made his decision . . . and he hadn’t told me. He’d told Brian, and probably told his other friends, also. But he hadn’t told me.MoreLess
