I’ve been working on not being so shy lately, and Tumblr’s definitely been helping me to reach out and get to know people better. After how much I kept to myself last year, it just seems like the right thing to do. Anyway, I’ve even started to meet some of the older students who have come back in some capacity, like as TA’s or club advisors, but the one that was really standing out as someone that I thought I got along with quite well was named Alice.
She was a Ravenclaw, like me. She likes computers more than books, but she seems to stumble over her words and end up rambling sometimes, just like me. She seems friendly and like she wants to help everyone, and she was so much easier to talk to than most people. It reminded me of when I met Lucy, and I just knew she was someone that should be in my life.
And then I saw her mention Jules.
My sister. My horrible, rotten, stupid sister.
How could someone as nice as Alice Churchill have been in love with Jules?
And I get Jules abandoning me, but... how can she abandon someone as nice as Ali?
I feel bad that the whole thing has me feeling a bit strange, but I can’t help but wonder... Did Alice know? Is that why she talked to me? Do I just remind her of Jules? Because if that’s why she wants to be friendly with me, then she’s going to be sorely disappointed by the fact that we’re nothing alike. I don’t want her to end up abandoning me when she realizes I’m not like Jules at all :( I was really starting to get attached to her, and now I’m not sure what I should do.
Although is it weird that her feeling left behind by Jules just makes me feel like I can relate to her even more than ever before?
Families make things so complicated, even friendships with people that I’d previously assumed were complete and total strangers.
I’ll keep you posted on what happens, diary! I hope I can still be friends with Alice even if she does have a strange history with my sister.
