   𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘. Aka; the day I'm gonna have to awkwardly 3rd wheel my best friend on her date because she's too scared to sit and watch a movie with someone who isn't me.

   I mean, I'm flattered.

   I didn't get much sleep last night, per usual. I spent about two hours kicking, tossing, turning, even tried counting some fuckin sheep but nothing. After that war with my blanket, at around 3, almost 4, am was when I decided to call it quits.

   Ever since I got put on sleeping pills, not only do I stay up even more than I used to, but, they also come with terrible reoccurring nightmares.

   They range from being about my dad to just me and my daily issues, but worse.

   It's 7:56 am, I'm already at school, sitting on the benches outside, waiting for Vale.

   "Hey, Mari!"

   "Oh, hey. Whats up, Seth?" I reacted back, trying not to show the fact that I wasn't really in a socializing mood.

   Me and Seth used to talk back in our sophomore year. I really liked him and he really liked me too but I thought it'd be best for us to stay friends. If I had to manage both my life problems AND a relationship, I would've killed myself way sooner.

   We're still kinda friends, I guess. Sometimes I find myself overthinking about what could've been. I mean shit, even my mom was mad at me for letting him go, especially with that reasoning.

   "Why're you sitting around like a loser, staring off into space?"

   "First of all, you're the loser, not me. Secondly, I'm waiting for Valeria."

   He slightly laughs, rolls his eyes playfully, and goes on to say "loser" as he gives me a hug and leaves off with his friends.

   I was a wreck when I basically ended things with him. I didn't want to, it was the depression talking. I still fully believe that I made the best choice I could have for my own good, but sometimes I still wish he would've given me that second chance.

   "Mari? Hello?" I hear a beautiful voice fading in through my ears as I was zoning back into reality. "I got your fave!" She squealed, "Are you okay? For a second I thought you might've been developing feelings for that busch in front of you."
