"it's kinda funny how summer fades so quick."
"yeah, I know. like we never had summer at all."
"the idea of school makes me cringe."
"you sound allergic."
"probably."
"it's like that for a lot of things. like, it's still a weird idea to me that I'm in high school. when I was kid, I never thought high school was like this."
"yeah. I thought there would be, like, pink convertibles and a boyfriend a week and wearing lipstick every day."
"it's true for some people."
"not me."
"me neither. I feel like I've lost my kid-self."
"you're still a kid."
"my age says so. but I don't feel the same way, anymore."
"why do you think that is?"
"because we're growing up. growing old."
"I'm not ready for that yet."
"it doesn't matter. it'll happen anyway."
