stop fucking pretending and get a better life

You used to talk about how much you needed coffee to keep you awake in English class. so you could pay attention (but you were always texting me in English class so it didn't do you that much good. i think you just liked the way the teacher glared at you when you drank it in class.) one time they told me you ran away, but you left your computer at home, so i knew you'd come back. ((you were stuck in the forest for 36 hours and for 36 hours i could barely breathe.) you acted like you were saving me, but i don't even need saving i just need you to fuck off. one time you drank vodka, just so you could taste it, and you hated it. but now you're back and you're pretending, you're pretending that you actually buy your coffee (instead of grab it at starbucks when the barista isn't looking). you're pretending that you've never been in the woods and when someone offers you vodka you gulp it right away. it doesn't matter that you're pretending because you're still trying to be above everyone and im so fucking done with you.
