the meaning of the world

Same as a girl

I flinch. The sounds of someone coming up the staircase warning me. Frantically I stuglle to stuff all the items back into their box. I shove it under my bed. The door breaks open. " Hey honey" a tentative voice says. She takes a seat. "Are you okay?" She asks. I sit and think. If i was okay would I hide who I truly am? No, I decide. "Nsqo my reply hugs her like an odd shaped bullet. "Um...okay". She's about to leave. She stands. Her slipper catching on the magazine that didn't quite make it into the box. She bends over. She flips it over and stares. She looks back at me and nervously giggles. "What's this for?" She asks. " same thing a girl ones for." I reply.
