two boys in love

bob

bob couldn't sleep.
most nights were like this.
it wasn't insomnia that kept him up.
no, it was his thoughts.
thoughts that most boys don't have about their best friend.
his mind should be filled with thoughts of cherry, not randy.
but when he's apart from cherry, he hardly thinks of her.
it's like she's just a placeholder of what he truly wants.
randy doesn't want him, though.
two boys in love.
that would make them outcasted just as much as the greasers are, if not more.
two boys in love.
the thought doesn't sound so bad to bob.
and that's why he decides to drink yet another night away.
to numb the thoughts that continue to haunt him every time he closes his eyes.
