This chapter was a journal entry written by Lizzie Read on the tenth day after her school shut down.
March 24th 2020
So, we've been in quarantine for ten days, now, and I really missed school and my friends before this, but today was the day that it really hit. So, this is a blip about my Wifey and one of the best bitches on this planet.
Hope you enjoy!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So my Wifey (female best friend. We call each other wife because she 'proposed' to me on Valentine's Day of 2019) has a boyfriend. They've been dating for a little less than a year, now, and every day I-being the loving wife that I am-walk her to the cafeteria to meet up with him. One of those days, I was feeling especially sentimental, and so I hugged her saying: "I love you, wifey, and I appreciate your existence. I don't know what I would do without you." Then, I awkwardly turned to boyfriend, who is a perfectly decent fellow despite the fact that the two of us are not especially close, and I do that stiff-armed shoulder-pat thing and tell him "I appreciate you existence, too." And, my Wifey just steps between us, looking at her boyfriend threateningly, and says "Don't touch her." (She's significantly shorter than both boyfriend and me, but her Slytherin scowls are NOT to be taken lightly.)
And, if that isn't friendship goals, I don't know what is.
I miss you, Wifey. I miss walking in the hallways together, sharing candy, and laughing. I wish that I could see you again.
Much love,
Lizzie <3
