he’s telling me about the girl at school he can’t get out of his head, and how he feels like it’s always this chain of "i don’t want all these people that want me," (i winced) “and the one person i want doesn’t want me in the same way.” (i inhaled sharply) i told him he’s overthinking it, and when he asked, “how do you not?” (i forgot to breathe) my eyes got watery, but i blinked quickly before they could settle (i exhaled) and replied, “i'll let you know.”
