'I don't mind if people forget about me, as long as I don't forget about me I guess I'll be alright,' Silver declares with such confidence.
'How can you do that?' Jacob asks 'how can you be okay with something that I fear the most?'
'Your biggest fear is that people will forget you?' Silver inquires.
'No, my biggest fear is to be in too much comfort with self-validation.'
'Oh, ha-ha, nice one, Mr. Big Shot. Whatever, by tomorrow what you think of me wouldn't even matter.'
'And why is that?' He asks as he raised an eyebrow.
'Because by tomorrow you'll forget that we've even ever met,' Silver says more as a way to reassure herself more than anybody else.
'And you'll be cool with that?' Jacob asks while seating himself a little bit closer to her.
'Why wouldn't I be? Just forget me, will you?' Silver states with a smirk.

Silver Hanson thinks that it's okay to get less than 8 hours of sleep at night. It's okay to skip breakfast. It's okay to flunk a test. It's okay to scratch your knees. It's okay to get a stain on your white denim. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to want to run away. It's okay to scream out of frustration. It's okay to cry. It's okay to feel heartbroken. It's okay to feel forgotten.
It's okay to be forgotten.
Silver would know, after all.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
