You have accepted who you are and what your role is, you’re not popular, you’re not well liked but you’re smart and you have a future ahead from you.

A bright one, far…far away from here. From this horrid town.

From the people in it.

You know Connell isn’t yours, that he’ll never really be yours. Even though he’s at your house every day after school, sneaking in and out.

It’s all a secret, he’d be embarrassed, after all he has a reputation to keep up with. His own friends are the ones making your life a living hell in school.

So he uses you.

And you let him.
