Relationship Limbo

Friday morning in the cafeteria April and I sat alone at a table.

“Hey, have you seen Gemma lately?” I tried to sound perky but kept my eyes downcast, absently stirring my Lucky Charms with a spoon.

Last night, for the first time since we had moved into our dorm room, Gem didn’t return.

“Uh oh, trouble in G5?” April’s fake smile made me squirm. She was the last person I wanted sympathy or relationship advice from. While peeling a banana she continued, “Jenny stayed at Bernie’s apartment off campus. Maybe Gemma joined them.” She chomped into her banana, gnawing on it slowly, before adding the kicker. “You know, Tiny T, I think both Jenny and Gemma have jungle fever. Leave it to Jenny to find the only black lesbian attending Hill University.”

I didn’t reply. That was the last image I needed running through my head. Shit, did Gemma have pictures of me and Erik running through her tortured mind? I abandoned my Lucky Charms and fresh fruit, untouched. For two days, I’d only been able to eat half a banana. My mom would be so proud of the inevitable pounds that were sure to melt off.

“I have class,” I said, standing.

“Good luck finding your roomie.” April winked conspiratorially as she waved a cheery hand. I wanted to shove her fingers where the sun didn’t shine.

Trudging to class, I pondered my breakup with Josh over the holidays. It had been sad, but it didn’t tear me up inside and I didn’t miss one meal. As far as I knew, Gemma and I hadn’t broken up, but how could I be in a relationship with someone who wouldn’t talk to me? Since the sledding episode she’d only said the following words to me: please, thank you, excuse me, and no thanks. Her forced politeness was like a swift kick to the gut each and every time. I would have preferred if she’d let me have it. Told me what she thought so we could begin to work our way through it. Not pretend that we were nothing more than friendly acquaintances who said, “No thanks,” when I asked if she’d like to talk.

In the grand scheme of things my relationship woes didn’t amount to a hill of beans, as my mother would say. She’d remind me of all the children starving in Africa or some mumbo jumbo like that to snap me out of my self-pity funk. But right then, the only thing that mattered at the moment was the fact Gemma hadn’t said two words to me in four days. Being in relationship limbo was killing me.

And now I had to get through three classes before I could launch a “find Gemma” mission.
