OKAY, LOOK,

Toby says. I don’t wanna go to Homecoming at all. But I gotta because of basketball. So, I’m going with a group of friends. Not people you really know. Guys from the team and their girlfriends. It’d be weird and awkward if I had you as a date. When everyone is treating it more casual. Like a thing your parents are making you do. Toby finishes with a shrug. Okay. That’s what I should say. Let it go. Instead, my mouth decides tonight is the night I say what needs to be said. Why did you kiss me? Do you even like me? The words hang between us. Then Toby strides toward me closing the distance. Do you think I kiss girls I don’t like? Do you think I hang out all the time with girls I don’t like? I like you, June. I like you so much. I like you… more than I should. If things were different…

My nose is running from the cold. And from the tears filling my eyes. Like if I were skinny, I say. Different like that, right?

Toby grabs my arms. TIGHT. No! Not like that. I shouldn’t have said that before about bad genes. What I meant was… You got secrets. Ugly ones. Ones that make you different. That set you apart. I got those kind of secrets, too. Don’t shake your head, June.

I don’t realize I’m doing it. But still, I don’t stop. I don’t believe you.

Again, I say this OUT LOUD. Apparently, I am now the sassy sort of girl who simply says what she thinks. Well, as sassy as anyone can be while sobbing.
