So Lynn-chan and Tony broke up.

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

This isn't because I'm horny for Lynn-chan, mind you. It's because the famed Woman's Intuition had told me something was off about him, and had been for awhile. I found out about two weeks ago that he had cheated on her in April with one of our mutual friends, but Lynn-chan had forgiven them for it. (The friend, I know, is very remorseful over it.)

And then I find out today that after that, he cheated on her two more times. Apparently Lynn-chan only found out about it last night or this morning. I happaned to get to school early so I went to the cafeteria, where nearly everyone was loosely assembled, and Lynn-chan tells me then.

Tony was in the other room. Apparently he had confessed in a note. Lynn-chan went over to the other room and came back before I could follow her, and told me she had ripped up the note and thrown it at him.

I found out later from a friend that Tony's name was on a sex offender list from when he was 15, charged for sex crimes against two 13-year-olds. I personally have not verified this but...well. When I, the one who gets separation anxiety if I go too long without touching someone, thinks that someone touches too much, they touch too much. Since a few months ago, something changed in the relationship between he and I. At first I thought maybe it was just that I was jealous of how much time he and Lynn-chan spent together, but that interpretation didn't feel right. I resigned myself to thinking, "Well, maybe I just don't like him", but I couldn't figure out why. Now I know. My sixth sense was at work.

Lynn-chan is holding up okay. She was crying at first, which I wasn't there to see. When I got there she was angry, and then after she tore up the letter she was smiling and laughing. I've been texting her and she seems okay.

I'm feeling kinda numb about the whole thing, mainly because I've been thinking a lot lately about how we can never know who someone else really is (more intuiton talking, I guess). I'm really annoyed that he was using Lynn-chan, and by extension using me, and probably a bunch of other people. I can't bring myself to really confront him, but I de-friended him on Facebook and am busy chopping up/deleting my pictures to get him out of them. Petty, maybe, but I don't want memories of him. I'm betting I won't be seeing him at Speech&Theatre or Lit Mag, to which I say Thank God (Lynn-chan has to see him at Studio Theatre, though, but hopefully he stays away).

So, lessons learned:

1. If a topic of trust pops into your head, it's a sign.
2. If Luna thinks someone touches too much, they touch too much.
3. Let your friends know if you don't like who they're dating.
