The thing was, Andy had never really got why he and Forrest broke up.
There was some invisible line that had been crossed somewhere, and he figured he'd been the one to cross it since she had dumped him and not the other way around, but she never really said why, and he just... hadn't asked. He hadn't really wanted to know. They were still cool and friends and everything could just be normal again like before they'd dated, right?
Right.
So here they were. In the back of Coach Oppenheimer's car, somewhat high, Forrest with a busted fucking arm, on prom night, and she was kissing him.
He'd kind of thought, maybe on some level, that she hadn't liked it when he kissed her before, and that was why they broke up. But here they were.
Yeah.
The right thing to do, probably, would have been for Andy to pull away and act like it never happened. Blame it on all the bullshit previously mentioned and forget about it. He had a girlfriend, he liked Mikki and had never intended to be unfaithful to her. The right thing to do would have been to just stop. Did he get credit for not going any further, at least?
Well, he didn't go any further, but he didn't pull away either.
