oh my god she smells like roses and vanilla and axe body spray

she moves so gracefully in every small step, even in ordinary walking

okay, dude, calm down. she's also a year older than us

i couldn't even believe it when she came and talked to me. it was like angels talking through string and cans

okay, what did she say

she said, "hi"

(oh for ****'s sake)

that's it? what else

nothing, she went to the cafeteria

that's angels talking through can and string? i would've expected some gabriel talking to joseph but "hi"?

it was more than that, dude. it was an experience

you know what else is an experience? an actual hook up. or taking a nice **** after physical education.

you just don't know, man. that hi was more sweet than pure honey. you're just not like poetic like me dude.

yeah, you're right.

(*******. it's "sweeter than")

sweeter than, mr neruda. talk like our prof.

aw **** him. did you know he's hooking up with our science teacher?

yes, we know. the whole fifth floor knows. madam gabriel knows, dude, find something else to gossip.

okay, did you know there was an incident at the third floor bathroom

yes, a teacher had diarrhea. we could smell that gossip, neruda.

did you know that adam had eve?

shut up with that now

(we had a schoolmate named eve. adam was the principal. i thought eve liked me)

i really thought she liked you, dude.

yeah well so do kittens, mate. they like you until they stop feeding off you and they want to get off detention.

you ought to hang with us, soon. mate's inviting the angel

yeah, to hang out with gremlins. you know i despise those guys

you don't despise company, though. you're lonely

alone, not lonely. i have several to keep me company.

yeah, whatever. see you at class.

yep.

i skipped the last hours of class. i met up with her at the adjacent 711

you know they can see us from there, right? she asked

man, she really does sound more sweet than honey.

see if i care, darling.

don't call me that, you sound like a creep.

ok

you know my friend likes you

no, i like you. i like you better. you smell like a bakery and a flower shop had legal disputes

she laughs. it's nice to hear a laugh.

we buy some cigarettes and a hot dog. we shared everything since we're broke

i ought to stay with you later instead. someone's invited me to hang.

you have school work, sister. you're also graduating

i can pass easily. english teacher likes me.

ugh, ew. not him.

and not them, either. i'm bored but i'm not committed.

there won't be fun in my house. father's home

i'd rather hang with him, then

oh shut with that. your cigarettes almost at your edge.

she tosses it away. gracefully. like a butterfly littering.

you know, we can go to my place instead.

and do what exactly? chores?

no, *******. you can help me with some stuff.

no i'm not doing your homework again. i'm not even in your level dude stop shoving shakespeare in my face

ugh, fine. let's just watch some stuff.

hmmm.

i went home instead. she's nice but i won't bother.

he chatted me again later that night.

yo, you were gone for the rest of the class. where were you?

oh, nowhere.
