"Guys! Guess what!"
"Whats up?"
"There's this guy..."
"Really? Awe who? Details girl!"
"You actualy might know him! He's super nice, well to me at least. And he is really smart, best in our class. And he is so creative, he draws so well, and he makes the most detailed, amazing-"
"What? Sculptures?"
"No! Costumes, I guess you could say, more like cosplay. I've seen a few, and they are amazing!"
"Cosplay? Really?"
"Yeah! He is also really funny, he knows just how to make me smile, and laugh when I'm down. Even though he can be a jerk sometimes, it's just a part of who he is, and I get it. He says some really dumb stuff to me, but I know he's usually just messing around."
"Hold the phone, cosplay? And he's a jerk?"
"Only sometimes. I can relate, I'm a jerk sometimes too! Anyways, he's super kind to me though. He asks how my day was, and he knows when I'm upset. Oh! And he watches anime, and even suggested a show for me, I'll have to start that. He's such a nerd, but-"
"Cosplay, jerky, anime, AND nerdy?"
"Just listen! He likes a bunch of the things I like, and he's weird too, but weird is-"
"AND WEIRD? Ok that's it, were done. Have fun with your new geek I a friend."
"Wait! Weird is ok, I like weird... You didn't let me finish."
"..."
"They're gone. They didn't let me tell them go happy he makes me feel. How I'm myself when I'm around him. How even while texting, he knows my 'patterns'. How he'll ask about my day, I'll say it was tolerable because I never have 'good days'. Then he'll ask why, and I'll say it's nothing. And he KNOWS I'm going to say that. He knows I'm lying when I say 'I'm fine'. He knows how to help me. I told him I wanted to die, and he gave me a reason to stay. I told him I hurt myself, and he told me everything will be ok. He knows my responses, and when I'm not alright, and I haven't know him as long as some of my other friends. But those friends don't even know I'm upset if I tell them straight to their face. Yet he knows instantly over text. My other friends let my feelings slide by, he doesn't."
"..."
"No one's there. No ones here to listen to me. I thought I could count on them, I thought I could share my one time happiness with them."
"One time?"
"Oh! Hey, it's you. I, was just talking about you."
"Really?"
"All good things! I was talking with some friends, but they don't get me like you do, so they left me."
"Alone? But you hate being alone. Don't they know that?"
"No. No one does. So how do you?"
"I can just tell."
"Hey girl! We're back! Oh, is this that weird kid you were telling us about?"
"Yes, this is him. But as I was saying before you left, I like weird. And if you dont like him... get lost. Because he helps. And none of you guys do."
"Jeez girl. Bye then."
"By the way, what did you mean by 'one time' happiness?"
"Oh. You know, I'm not the happiest person all the time."
"I know, you can't always hide behind smiles. I don't like it when you hide, I like it when you're you. Even if you aren't happy a lot."
"Thank you, for saving me."
"Any time. I'm glad I could help you."
