"You look pale"

"I'm a ginger, i'm always pale"

"No, like more than usual"

"What do you mean i got a new freckle, look here, that has to mean something"


I pointed to the blur of orange melanin clumps that rested on my face.


"Katherine that's a sharpie mark"

"your a sharpie mark"

"Did you stay up all night again?"


I didn't respond.


"You did, didn't you?"

"How did you know?"

"there's sharpie all over your face"

"so?"

"Katherine you always draw on your face at 3:00 AM, and only at 3:00 AM"

How did you know that?"

"Because last time we had a sleepover you ran out of room on your own face, and started drawing on mine, and then i woke up at 3:30 AM to the feeling of you drawing and intricate banana illustration on my cheek"

"You know me so well Ron"
