"Kate, are you going to the Hershey Park trip?" My friend, Brenda, walks up to me. I'm at school, sitting on the stage in the cafeteria. I never get any silence.
"Hmm," I say, pulling off my headphones and giving her my attention.
"I asked if you're going on that field trip for choir." She smiled.
"Oh, yeah, I really wanna go. We're gonna have so much fun." I reply. See, in my head, I'm wondering what would happen on this trip. I have been looking at pictures of Matt Ox for so long. I'm not obsessed, I just think he's cute and I like his music. I could be obsessed, I'm not even sure. Me being the fangirl I am, I'm calculating the chances of him being at Hershey Park on the same day as me. You know, since he lives in Philadelphia and all.
"I know what you're thinking," Brenda says.
"You are such a fangirl, you know that, right? He's not even interested in anybody! You saw his interview. He said he doesn't get girls and that they only want him for his money." She continues.
"Oh, Brenda. My dear Brenda. I don't want him for his money," I say with a huge smile playing on my face.
"He's a nice kid. I've watched all of his interviews, his snaps, and liked all his pictures." I say, confident. She looks at me with one eyebrow raised.
"Okay, so maybe not all. But I have watched all of his interviews!" I tell her as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Alright, alright, fine. Whatever. I'll see you at the end of the day." She laughs. I shake my head, smiling, and get back to listening to Matt Ox.

After School
I'm on my phone and I melt a little when I open Instagram.

I chuckle at the comments I see. My mother's out front ready to pick me up so I go out and get ready for a quiet ride with her.
"Hey, momma," I smile at her as I get in the front seat and close the car door.
"Mhm." She replies. Car rides with her are mostly like this.
"So, mom, there's a field trip to Hershey Park and I-"
"Is it overnight?" She cuts me off, still looking ahead.
"No, ma'am," I reply.
"K. You can go." She says.
I smile and imagine seeing Matt at Hershey Park.
Sigh. If only.
