Day 3 - Molted Flashbacks
Ahhhh….a call from the two notorious suck-the-life-out-of-you sisters, Kinsey and Katherine. They wanted a ride to school and rang me in the ripe hour of my awakening; aka too late of a notice, this can’t be my problem. Katherine models for me, is quite humorous, and we get along…so she’s bearable. However, Kinsey is one to ask herself “What can I get out of this? What’s in it for me?” for every single situation she’s in. The puts-herself-first kinda gal. It’s quite draining. Our relationship kind of burnt out after it went from helping her learn french, to doing her french with her next to me, to doing her french while she went out and partied. Not cool. Refer back to the pushover thing from yesterday.

Flashbacks hurt. Especially when you felt so good in that past moment. But I don’t think I want to go into detail just now…it’ll hurt too much.

My dad had a gig last night so Bella came over and we watched the Runaways (we wish we could be something like them). When you find someone like Bella, someone so akin to yourself, it momentarily erases the bruises from those relentless flashbacks. We sat outside on the back porch and I read to her while she smoked.
People are always so curious if we get sick of each other and have to take breaks. But the truth is, we need to hang out or talk every day. If we don’t hang, we’ll be texting nonstop…maybe even throw in a phone call before bed. If we get in an argument, we stay quiet for a little but still need each other’s presence. We’ve got a pretty rare relationship, I’d say. But it’s stronger than steel and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Some think it’s unhealthy, but if we’re not together, we get really depressed. And depression is almost more unhealthy than an overstimulating friendship.

I think I’m fine with being somewhat of a Plain Jane eater. I have a weekly routine consisting of Chinese, Mexican, and Italian which are all predictable and safe. I just don’t see how someone could stomach cow tongue or lobster brains. Hey, maybe I’m missing out, to each his own.

Numbers lend their names to so many different things. I wonder what it feels like to be spread so thin.
My fingers intertwined each other during English, and this shoots me to a time in Brad’s room. Paul and I were on the floor, Bella and Brad on the bed. We were watching Monty Python and out of nowhere, Paul grabbed my hand rather defiantly, and held it under his between us. Our fingers were locked and it felt like we were dating. I was blissfully confused and surprised. Also, I was a little nervous seeing as my hands could fill a bathtub with sweat in a matter of two minutes.
Anyways, being lost in this memory must have read all over my face, it actually makes me feel like I might puke. Next thing I know Aaron stands up and walks away as if my eyes were projectors and my memory was playing on the canvas in his mind.

Raven roped me in for the first time today. She’s actually not so bad.
There is just some complication with Bella and Raven and Raven’s boyfriend, Josh. Josh and Bella were hooking up and Raven pulled the rug from under Bella’s feet, snatching Josh. Josh and Raven have now been dating for nine months. Bella’s a little cautious that she might be trying to snag me from her as well. Silly Bella, I’d never leave you for anyone or anything.
So our first one-on-one: we talked about the hot fudge sunday feeling that rolling down the windows on a freezing day and blasting the heat encompasses. Or how birds nestle themselves in bushes before they die. And how snowflakes actually dread falling to the ground.

Today is Brad’s birthday. I really hope his day is amazing. He’s changed my mind completely. I used to think he was just a disgruntled misanthrope and I didn’t fancy being in his company too often. But since we had that discussion last friday night, things are different. I’ve opened my eyes.
