"Now Ginny listen. I like you a lot. I think you're a great friend, and I don't see why that has to end. You're one of the sweetest girls I know... super cute... and one heck-"
It was at that exact moment that I rolled my eyes at Brody. I mean, pretty much anyone can sense the 'but' coming up. If we're being totally honest, I've kind of mastered the art of buts over the years.

To be honest... I'm not feeling much better, but life has to go on, you know? It's a great start to my 22nd birthday, isn't it! Hahaha.
