Chapter 30:

She let’s me put my arm around her today.

 

I want to eat lunch with her.

 

My friends won’t let me.

 

I know about her mother.

 

I know she’s lying too.

 

I don’t tell her though.

 

I just pretend to be clueless.

 

But I’m worried.

 

I’m worried about her.

She won’t let me drive her home.

 

I tell her I’ll walk with her.

 

She asked about my car.

 

I said I don’t care.

 

We walked together.

 

I held her hand.

 

She let me.

 

I asked if she wanted to go somewhere.

 

She said no.

 

I didn’t object.

 

I just followed.

 

Then we were there.

 

We were at her house.

 

She opened the door.

 

The door that never seemed to be locked.

 

I want to walk in with her.

 

She stops me.

 

She tells me to leave.

 

I say I can’t.

 

She looks at me with those eyes.

 

Those eyes that always get to me.

 

I say okay.

 

But I don’t leave.
