what if she's not pretty

now THIS is the class picture of the year.
girls, girls.
no comment.

it's like 1/3 over! the common tests 2 are OVER! i don't know if im gg to screw it up or what,but think overall everything was okay,even maths (though i possibly lost half the marks already not being able to do like a lot of questions).how optimistic.

beloved a14 came over to steamboat tonight,they left an hour ago and my stomach is totally ringing with overload.great idea steph(: despite having to wash up a gargantuan piles of dishes and everything else needed to be washed,i'm glad we ended off with a bang.like seriously,bang.

now that things are more or less over,if i have not mentioned it,it's time to catch up with all that holiday i sacrificed just to make it through my books and notes.my room is in a mess.procrastination today,is king.i'm going to sleep.after i hang around doing nothing without much guilt FINALLY.

but it all returns to haunt you sooner than you know,you know.

I was following her through the familiar corridors of the second storey. There had always only been two storeys, and this one was the narrow one. Today I felt claustrophobic, though I had earlier rushed into her arms for our usual embrace and was comforted (I didn't know why I needed any comforting) by her huge presence. You're so pretty, I was saying admiringly, but her hair looked longer than usual and she wasn't quite the same. I cannot recall if she said the same back. She probably didn't. In a few steps we had found the room where I was supposed to find him, time fazing by so quickly the way they do in dreams. I recognized the heads that turned to look at us as we burst into the room, two figures brimming with energy, ever ready to entertain. I didn't see him, nor anyone who usually was with him. Deep inside I already knew despite my vague awareness of myself, that I wasn't really looking for him. I was looking for you. Through him, I had a piece of you - so I was always looking for him frantically whenever I lost him, a great unexplainable fear ripping inside me, that perhaps this time I had indeed lost hold of you forever. And then as I walked across the room, lips in a half-smile waiting to shine for him, somehow for you, when I heard a voice behind me call out for me. I turned, eyes tearing away from my search, stumbling urgently into yours to complete the hello so I could get on with goodbye. And in my nervous intensity fraying along the edges of myself, I paused, and without much of a glow offered a sorry I can't talk now I'm looking for someone "Oh hi."

I later woke up and realized you were my lost and found.

And I'm thinking,
I dare you to not be ashamed of me.
