Charlotte. A beautiful name perfectly suitable for a beautiful girl. She had skin like porcelain and hair as jet black as the night sky.
What am I doing? I'm definitely not a poet, so I should stop trying to be. I'm not that great with words, but I'm trying here. It's honestly hard to really put her beauty into words, and I haven't had much practice, assuming the fact that this is the only place I can ever confess my love to her.
Well, I mean love is kind of a strong word... I guess it's more of a strong admiration? Jealousy?
Who am I kidding? I have a girl crush, and no other living soul but me may ever find out about it. My parents are strict, religious, and very stern. I can hear them now, "Delilah, you know that's a sin. Delilah, she's a bad influence. Delilah, you know that's not right. Delilah, won't she get in the way of school? Delilah, there are tons of suitable boys at your school, or even better, at church!" I swear, I can't do anything without getting a small sermon before or afterwords.
I know it's "wrong", and I know my parents won't be happy, so that's why I'm not telling them. I don't know exactly how everything will work out once I have to tell them, but for now, keeping it to myself is the smartest choice I can think of.
Let's just talk about Charlotte for a minute. She's absolutely amazing. Well, I'm assuming. I've never actually had a conversation with her, but that's going to change soon, I promise. We get to pick lab partners on Friday, and they're for the whole year, so I'll pick Charlotte, that way we'll get to spend lots of time together, and maybe we can actually have a conversation. I'll explain to her that she's pretty much the only person I haven't partnered with, and that I like her shirt. That gives me a valid excuse, right? I won't look like a crazy lesbian, right? Wait, I'm not a crazy lesbian, right?
This is stressful. It's already 3:37 AM and I'm awake coming up with valid excuses to not look like a crazy lesbian.
This is what my life has come to. Great.
