on christmas morning, my mom is still talking about my awards and how proud she is of me. i simply smile and roll my eyes, pretending i hate it every time she brings it up.

truth is, i'm really proud of myself.

after exchanging gifts, i glance at my phone and see that the group chat has a couple messages.

josslyn: merry christmas hoes

dev: *hanukkah, josslyn

josslyn: whoops. happy hanukkah dev

peter: my mom literally got me a book on being a social butterfly. i went up to my room afterward.

ethan: read it, peter. read it.

dev: ^^^

i giggle and type back a message that just says merry christmas and telling peter his mom should have opted for the how to get a girl to talk to you edition.

at around noon, i go up to my room to unwind from the day. my sister got me music book tabs to mark my spots, so i sit at my desk and pull open the drawer to find a spot for them.

but something catches my eye as i do.

a single sheet of lined paper folded into four sections and familiar, scribbled handwriting on it.

i unfold it and read what it says at the top.

cant find notebook. copy into notebook once found. 11/25-11/27

this is ethan's notes from thanksgiving break.

at first i start to fold it again, but then it dawns on me that if he forgot it was even here, nothing can be that important on it.

so against my better judgment, i start to read the scribbled notes.
