nine.

on the sixth day,

delia was the one to speak first.

"park reminded me of you."

she blurted as i sat down.

i groaned, "it's because i look asian, right?"

she giggled and shook her head.

"no, it's because you're a nice person,

and you bring me books."

i grinned, happy that she'd found me nice.

"thank you, by the way."

she smiled shyly.

i felt like this was the first time she was actually talking to me.

"you're welcome." i said,

placing the spectacular now on her thigh.

and on that sixth day,

i didn't get up and leave.

sincerely,

calum
