John bends down to help, putting items back in it that had fallen. Mostly he was giving himself mixed signals.

"I don't want you to hold your hopes out on me, Dave. Yes I don't want t be friends again." But he didn't want Dave to hope for something more if John couldn't determine his own sexuality. To be frank, he'd only ever kissed one girl. That was probably his third or fourth kiss over with anyone.

"Don't read it as a mixed signal. I'm pretty sure I just confused myself. I'm really sorry." John will watch Dave walk home when he decides this conversation is over. He will make sure Dave arrives safe from a safe distance.
