we were having fun until peridot stopped. her phone buzzed and when she saw whatever text she got, she went emotionless. my heart sank.

"what is it, peri?", i ask.

"i- i have to go."

"what, already?"

"it's.. it's 11:30.."

"oh."

peridot had gotten her coat on and before she left, i stopped her.

"wait-"

"yes?"

"i forgot to give you my number."

peridot's face lit up.

"oh yeah."

she entered her number into my phone and i entered mine into her phone.

she then hugged me and left.
after she left, i had realized something.

peridot had this amazing vibe and personality that no one else i talked to had.  maybe i-

my phone buzzed.

unknown contact:
hey lapis. this is peridot. can u give me my hoodie tomorrow? i think i left it at your house.

by the side of my bed, i see a gray hoodie with a green alien on it. i'm guessing that's the hoodie she was talking about since no one in my family ever really wears green.

i examined the hoodie and, uhm, maybe smelled it, maybe wore it, then took it off after.

i'm going to keep this hoodie forever omg, i thought to myself.

oh my gosh.

i plopped into my bed, and expected to go to sleep. i kept tossing and turning and then finally went to bed.
