remember when we finished elementary school? there was a celebration in school, and boys had to pick girls to dance with, and you walked by me and didn’t even glance at me, and then you picked josie, my best friend. so, when the girls got to pick the boys, i picked your best friend, and josie picked you.
i was angry with her and didn’t even speak with her for a while. then, we agreed never to argue because of boys ever again. which we didn’t.
i was so happy to find out that you got to the same middle school as me, even though i knew i shouldn’t be happy about it. i should feel unhappy. but i couldn’t. instead, my insides did backflips on the first day of middle school in anticipation of seeing you.
