Is another crisis looming?

Black’s not at the places where I usually find him.

Yesterday I wanted to talk to him for a major rant session about my groupmates, but he was nowhere to be found.

Today he’s still missing in action, starting at the train station. He always waits for me no matter how late I arrive, but he wasn’t there. He wasn’t at Eng.Lit. either. Before I went home I passed by the Kapihan, but to no avail. I walked out of the place with an iced coffee to go, but no Black.

Not that I didn’t look anywhere else. I checked the Library, his favorite food stores in-campus, the Bookstore, Pasta-Pista… raargh! Why doesn’t he get himself a mobile already?!?

…

I even asked his orgmates. They were as clueless as I was, but at least they saw him for a while when B passed by to get a book he left the day before. Some also saw him coming in late to their classes.

So that ruled out the possibility of him being absent yesterday and today…but… Black… late? B is never late! Even though I unintentionally stall him by arriving up to thirty minutes late to the train station, he’s never late for school because his first class is still one period after mine.

What’s wrong with Black? He’s not being himself lately, though I’ve only seen him twice this year. I suppose that’s the problem as well. He’s been invisible to the point of weirdness.

I just hope he doesn’t go into another The-life-I’m-living-isn’t-worth-it episode.

Okay, I just got off the phone with B’s mom. She said he’s having dinner out. Dinner at 10:00pm? Fine, I wont’ pry this time. At least he’s not in depression mode because eating out always means something positive…

Right?
