There's a guy at school who pretty much hated me last year. We were friends for a few months at the beginning of the last school year. But our relationship turned REALLY rocky after that. (It would take hours to explain it all.) I used to like him, but after everything went sour and he started hating me, I stopped. But he still thought I liked him, so I went up to him and let him know that he was a [insert curse word here] (This wasn't out of spite. I actually did hate him at the time for some of the things he did). So basically, up to the beginning of this school year, we both had an unwritten agreement that we hated each other.
I was chosen to participate in our school's speech contest (he was there, too), which took place today. They put all the contestants in the teacher's lounge to compete, and while we were waiting, we sat in the chairs set out for us. I was sitting next to him and (this was the first time I've said anything to him since the day that we met at common ground) I told him "good luck on your speech" and said it with a genuine smile. We had a conversation of a few sentances after that. And, surprisingly, he was actually treating me like a human being.
Later I was standing in the lunch line, and I asked him who he thought was going to win the speech contest. (it was going to be announced later that day) He said that he liked this one girl's (this wasn't any surprise, she was really amazing with her speech) and that he liked mine, too. (which is kind of weird because, honestly, I didn't do too well compared to everyone else)
From his reaction to me talking to him again, do you think he still hates me?
PS. In case anyone's wondering, the only reason I was compelled to actually be nice to him was because I just figured that there was no reason in wasting energy on hating someone. And, that, I would at least be happy with myself in knowing that I was able to do that.
