you were sitting in class next to your crush. Admiring him.

he had this paper. Filled with doodles. You didn’t know he was an artist.

he had some drawings of a girl that clearly wasn’t you. Gillian. It was Gillian. You knew he liked her. And had rejected you so many times but.. Gillian??

he could do better. He could do you.

anyway. I’m getting off track.

you were admiring him write his name.

nicely done cursive with a lowercase a for his name.

you loved it. You wanted his veiny hands to hold yours. to write your name in that writing and draw doodles of you.

but he won’t. He likes Gillian. Not you. Sorry baby.
