the car ride
filled
with mom's
laughter.

she constantly
typed on
that
phone.

why couldn't
she be so
happy
with
my family?

the tears
dropped
from my
eyes
again.

why did
i have
to be
so
lonely?

i mean,
look
how pathetic
i am!

no friends,
no love
life,
i can't even
be handed
my mother's
love!

in the blink
of an eye,
i spot
my
home.

i jumped
out the
door,
desiring
to just
cry it all
out on my bed.

when i arrived,
something
interesting
happened.

my phone
on the
nightstand
dinged.

that seemed
weird.

no one ever
texted
me?

i launched
myself
over,
checking.

hi nelly!
sorry to bother you,
but do you wanna hangout
today maybe? - oliver, 3:45 pm.

he's pitying
me
again isn't
he?

well,
whatever.

i typed
on
my phone
and
texted back
in agreement.

atleast i
won't
be
lonely for
today.

he texted
me stating
we'll
go out
at 4:00 pm.

maybe,
it'll
go okay.

maybe, i'll
have
a friend.

even though
that cherry flavored
lip balm
makes my
eyebrows
furrow.

the thought
of having
a friend
still
sounded
great on
my tongue.

i'll maybe have a friend.
