'you're thinking about something.' katya sighed, resting her arms on the cold mcdonald's table and staring at me intently.
'uh, yeah, it's impossible not to think.' i sipped my strawberry milkshake, trying to avoid the subject.
'you know what i mean, dumbass. somethings bugging you.'
'yeah, but it's stupid so like, don't worry.' i fiddled with the pink scrunchie on my wrist, feeling uncomfortable.
'it could be literally the dumbest thing in the world but if you're worried about it so am i.'
'it's just-like i have to apply for college really fucking soon. and i have no idea what i want to do with my life.'
'yeah you do,' katya frowned. 'you want to become an actress and live in cali?'
'i mean yeah, but i mean more immediately than that. like, what college do i want to go to, what exams do i do, do i move back in with my pare-' i cut myself off, looking up at katyas red face.
'trixie, kukla. i love you so so much, but you need to accept that's not an option anymore. you've seen your dads texts and heard him scream at you on hundreds of voicemails, and well you live with me now.'
'yeah but your parents will get sick of me soon...'
'no they wont! even if they do they're only here like one day per month, so it doesn't even affect them. anyway, about college, what's like important to you?' katya changed the subject.
'i don't know, how good their theatre program is, and like preferably i'd go to the same college as you-wait what do you even want to study?'
'i wanna study video and performance art at massachusetts college of art and design, and maybe minor in psychology or something?'
suddenly everything clicked. that was the perfect major for katya. she loved to randomly film me on her shitty home camera from the eighties, and she was so so interested in physically how the brain works.
'they also do musical theatre there,' she continued. 'i'm not saying do you wanna apply to but, do you wanna apply to?'
'i mean, there's no harm in trying.' i smiled, cheering up considerably.
short and not that great but oh well
