I know what will happen in school today, it's what has been happening all month since school began this year. I will see Lily and wave silently to her. I will resist my urge to kiss her on the cheek, which I've gotten pretty good at. We will walk to class together. We both have English first, and we will sit close to each other. Not close enough to touch though. When we talk we will keep it light and we will laugh politely. I will not share my problems and we will be civil and friendly.

I hate this, it isn't real. I wish I could come out for her. I wish she was okay with the way things were. I wish my mom was less judgemental. I wish so many things, for all that's worth. Which doesn't seem to be very much.
