what more do i want?
Am i selfish to want more?
i get up the courage to talk to her for the first time in two weeks.
i ask her how school is,
“Good.”
She says
“My mom wants to know if you can come to my talent show on the 30th.”
i ask
“No I have a sleepover that night.”
Oh…ok
“Have you ordered your black swan costume yet?”
i ask
“Oh I had to cancel because of the phone thing.”
oh…ok
You had to cancel because it’s me?
You have a sleepover the night before but you can’t take the time to spend halloween with me?
The one who just moved here.
The one who you know has no friends.
The one who you know for a fact is hurting.
the one you know is leaving.
“oh it’s ok. it’s with maddie right?”
“yeah.”
