Things were quiet around the house.

I hadn't seen my dad in 3 days and my mom locked herself in her room so I barely saw her either. I'd been taking the bus to school because every time I asked my mom for a ride she'd brush me off.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAS30kT8U5G3
Today was Wednesday which meant I'd have to suffer through another day of Calculus.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkPJzRWTT4t
I had lunch in between my classes and since I usually got out early, I had more time to eat.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhX4HOEY5wk
It was around lunch time before my math class and I got out early as per usual. I walked into the packed lunch room looking for Sarah and Jordan.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAfWWmXeFI66
I walked to the table all the way in the back of the cafeteria where we usually sat and waited for them to get out of class.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA55ZZf36WsC
Jordan texted me that she was on her way but her teacher wasn't letting people out until everyone finished their tests.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA3GNfh3E6FL
I groaned.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAroEbm2yEYL
Let me text Sarah.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAbj665ucBgz
"are you eating lunch in the cafe today?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8yf30D9XDo
"no i'm skipping school today. love you x"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAbHH9uBN5Qr
Great.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhYxeUXKD4I
This was the first time both Jordan and Sarah weren't here to eat lunch with me since my first day.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQfxpYkMMjX
"I might as-well get my food while I'm waiting for Jordan."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWDMo18KnSo
I got up and went back to the front and waited in line to see what they were serving today.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAk5WcGh1uQC
Burgers and french fries. Yum.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAaJdgkuxkQ8
This line is taking forever. Maybe I should just get something from the vending machine and go to the library.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANRqJNnFXXg
"Hi."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzM3212lSab
A friendly voice said behind me. I turned around and saw Ian.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgUMYquKziP
"Hi. You eat in the cafeteria?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAGd6BL1368p
"Not usually but today they have burgers I couldn't pass up the opportunity."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAam3105nyQU
"Are they any good?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAbsvPm33SXa
"The best."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAif3UdNNeNC
"I'll see about that."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAFmnp9kJm7w
We both were next in line to get our food and the nice lunch ladies gave me extra curly fries. Ian got 2 burgers and an extra plate of fries.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANKeilGcFdS
"Where are you sitting?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAfeRWN6RV6b
"I'm actually waiting for Jordan right now we usually sit in the back. What about you?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAqhobvZPDdM
"I'm sitting over there."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMzmuqx4yjf
He pointed to the fullest table in the cafeteria, of course Macy was there.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAembBZWxbCV
"Wow you have a lot of friends."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhaLig6C6zb
"Most of them are actually Macy's friends."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAjETBML0fxy
"If they're mostly Macy's friends why do you sit there?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtJxAYOJyge
"Those two at the end of the table are my close friends. Joseph and Max.When I do eat in the cafeteria they're usually who I sit by. We're all one big friend group."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA3kMqeVXZfn
"Oh."
36Please respect copyright.PENANALbStnfc1cs
"Do you want to sit with us?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANASPSAbQ1Jpz
"I'm waiting for Jordan she'll be here any minute."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAoFGVq9R2eM
"If you want you can sit with us while you wait for her so you don't have to wait alone."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2GV0mFiNZ0
"Okay..."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4pXAMMlp7B
I walk over to the table with Ian that's almost in the exact center of the room.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAY2r8BlZ1tO
"Hey guys this is Vee. She's in my modern art class."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVHpBo2sJN2
"Hi Vee nice to meet you. I'm Joseph, my friends call me Joe."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAArTJQ2R2Qm
"Hi Joseph."
36Please respect copyright.PENANApIDG2Oizph
Everyone at the table was looking at me weird and it made me feel self conscious.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAivsPOpW7bJ
Was something on my face? Did I say something wrong?
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2aWACuRUxT
Macy and Gianni glared at me before shooting me a fake "Hi."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdnwo70jmjc
Dean was there sitting next Joseph and another guy who Ian told me was named Max. Max didn't say much to me he was busy downing his food like it was going to run away from him.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1VU6fJJPig
Ian sat down and Macy filled the space Ian left for me to sit next to him. No one said anything, instead Joseph scooted over for me to sit next to him directly across from Ian.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOsDcHpPgoV
"Thanks."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUjTLd35l9n
"No problem. So where are you from?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA0Am7H6xGf4
"Here."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA51TvqSj6yM
"You grew up here?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4xqWMv274j
"Yeah something like that."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4xTxVTBuCp
Everyone was quiet listening to our conversation. It felt very strange sitting with them I felt like a lost puppy sitting with a pack of wolves. The only way to describe it was very intimidating.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWUk4np3mSq
"So you're in art with Ian? You must be good then." Max said stuffing another handful of fries in his mouth.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAFxCkMpbzPB
"Dude slow down the food isn't going anywhere."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAKOATfnBzE5
"Coach says I'm underweight I gotta bulk up so I can get off the bench."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAsMWMbZ65LX
Max and Joseph started having a conversation of their own about football. Most of what they were talking about went in one ear and out the other because I wasn't very interested in sports at all. I tried to understand what they were talking about but I was completely lost.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxaHz0HbP2U
I listened to all the conversations going on at the table. Max apparently was on the football team with Kai, Ian's brother. Gianni was complaining about some teacher named Mr. Farris because she got a B on some test. Macy was nodding her head pretending to listen while occasionally checking to see if Ian was looking at her.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAN7FkXw2dis
Ian was starring into space looking deep in thought.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAs3bsV94VBQ
I wonder what he was thinking about.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4LWmsjeOpZ
"So Vee, are you going to submit anything to the art gallery?" Joseph spoke and everyones conversation ceased.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAeehOgcE7Mw
"What art gallery?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAjbh2EAF8Zr
"How have you been living here your whole life and don't know about the art gallery?" Gianni butted in.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAnD5t3tdw3E
"I guess I just don't go out much."
36Please respect copyright.PENANARIqHfAmRKy
"There's an art gallery every year downtown at the Lakeston Gallery. Every art student gets a chance to submit a piece of art work of their choice and win a scholarship or cash."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAoUTrt4ibNz
"I heard the scholarship this year is a full ride to Pratt Institute."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWoiCTz3fCT
"I heard their art program is phenomenal."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8iF33ro6qd
"Yeah but I'd rather go to an Ivy league. Why waste talent at a regular school? No one really cares about schools that aren't the top in the country."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAswrx3b62Va
"Ian didn't you say you wanted to go to Yale?" Macy tossed her hair to the side and batted her eyes at him while asking.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAlIj5KAsSkr
"That was in 5th grade."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Zci8o4nh
"I remember growing up you always wanted to go to an Ivy league. Your mom would be so happy if you went to Yale or Stanford like she did. Also, if I get in we'll be on the same campus."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA49WRmQZka2
Okay, we get it Macy.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8X6AqcQvzw
"Actually I was thinking if I didn't get into an art school I'd take a gap year."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAeCO2e7JDiY
"What would your parents say?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAr0F01Nmti8
"I haven't told them yet."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAjKc43o4PwE
The table was quiet after Macy and Ian's conversation. I wanted to cut the awkward tension and say something neutral and light so the mood wouldn't completely be killed.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8I5qkY3ShZ
"So why don't you submit something to the art gallery?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkCTDLw8MJy
"I do every year."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAiLyNztomXU
"He wins every year he's super talented." Max said.
36Please respect copyright.PENANATwOGaCJjTZ
"Yeah maybe if you'd actually accept the scholarships they offered instead of handing them out to people less worthy you would already have a school in mind."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAi4ZjLV932q
Macy's tone was a bit harsh. I can tell she really wanted him to go to college with her by her reaction to him saying he would take a gap year.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOhxU7BVZlj
"If Vee submits something this year I might not win. She's an incredible artist."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVBjJ3dEIDs
Ian's shifted the attention towards me and now the whole table was eyeing me. Macy made sure to roll her eyes extra hard so I could see.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAYdqdGNAGJP
"Is- is it free?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdBJc22GEgB
"Nothings free in this town babe. Submission fee this year is 500 bucks." Gianni said.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAlKnzSGiwaq
500 fucking dollars?!
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOgx0tG4PEN
"A small price to pay if you win the scholarship."She added.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2iVahMNdHE
I guess I won't be entering anything into the art gallery. It's not like I would win anyways. They said that Ian wins the scholarship every year so what makes this year any different.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAlh3nIULzZR
"Where's Kai at?"Dean changed the subject.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAnLdbje5kCc
"He texted and said he's with some chick he met this weekend." Max said.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkx9AqJORPP
"Oh great. Another one."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA3v4edYYpSv
I looked at the entrance to see that Jordan had finally walked into the cafe and was searching around to see where I was.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAuhN1shBC74
We locked eyes on each other and she covered her mouth with her hands and then mouthed why are you sitting there?
36Please respect copyright.PENANA3MfMtuRNMg
I waved at her and motioned for her to come but she shook her head and pointed at Macy then made fake devil horns at the top of her head.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAw9sCaUiWHM
"Who are you waving at?" I shifted my attention back at the people on the table after Joseph asked me.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAW9kT0MqN07
"Oh sorry, My friend Jordan is here. I've gotta go but it was nice meeting you all."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAlXT6sOJTT7
"Nice meeting you too."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAFWCsTTs0cc
"See you in class V." Ian smiled at me before I got up.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAs4LSehkDXQ
I walked to Jordan who was in line waiting to get a burger.
36Please respect copyright.PENANArO5Z1JO3MN
"What were you doing sitting with Macy?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA470xpHFT7D
"Ian invited me over to their table."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAR74nNKFn4I
"That was Ian? He's even hotter from behind." She chuckled
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxWsyaPIyzQ
"Apparently Macy and Ian grew up together and their parents are super close."
36Please respect copyright.PENANACPlTonv9xD
"Yeah Macy and Ian's parents are like those movies where you and your best friend have a kid at the same time and hope they grow up to get married. Except Macy is Macy and Ian is an angel."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAXKL8dIL953
We started walking towards our usual table and sat down. I'd already finished most of my food while sitting at the other table but I still had a few fries left.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAY3nXmgxCOb
"So their parents wanted them to get married? Is that why she's obsessed with him?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAEV9aUhiIV4
"That's what I heard. Rumor says they have their whole life planned out together. Down to when they'll have kids."
36Please respect copyright.PENANArg6Bgbi7ZW
"Why didn't you tell me this before?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAw8phw2G5bP
"Because someone needed to give Macy a wake up call. He obviously hates her and is just putting up with her because he knows his parents love her. If he ends up with someone else maybe they'll finally realize that Macy isn't the only girl in the world."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA4zaQMH7Eex
"Why doesn't he just tell them he doesn't like her?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzZW6ms39s3
"If it was only that simple."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUsHltQSXx8
Isn't it though?
36Please respect copyright.PENANAmBtzxwHox0
"Why wouldn't it be that simple?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIsGAuYU53r
"Ian's a perfectionist. I don't think he's done a single thing in his life to disappoint his parents. If he told them that Macys a demon reincarnated and doesn't like her I think he'd probably break their little hearts."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOGOc2VFkQf
It started to make sense. Macy's reaction to him wanting to take a gap year or not wanting to go to an Ivy school made sense now.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUG8mnndLOJ
"I guess it makes sense." I mumbled.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA3uAkEa1g2B
"How do you know all of this?" I added.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUL36cSTV3m
"I've been around. Nothings ever a secret for long in this school."
36Please respect copyright.PENANApsshOpqFlo
"So everyone knows all of this except for me."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA0lm8YafyyH
"Basically."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxaVwlPcs0U
I continued eating my food staring at the people in the lunch room. I was thinking about earlier at the table when Ian revealed he wanted to go to a normal art school not an Ivy league. He looked so anxious. Maybe because of Macy's reaction? Or maybe because he's afraid of what his parents will say?
36Please respect copyright.PENANAaWxx7XNeSC
My eyes floated back to his table where all his friends were laughing at something . He was leaning on his hand looking bored. I laughed in my head at Macy's desperate attempt to get him to notice her.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHaoOz3U3Ly
I almost felt bad for her.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1XhzSfQM3o
Maybe deep down she was still a good person.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIln1yhD30e
I realized I was staring when I got a message on my phone that knocked me back into reality.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQI4NeQcaZe
"you're staring"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAR3MNeEB6AU
I looked back up at Ian and noticed him looking at me while holding his phone. He had an amused look on his face and I sunk into my chair.
36Please respect copyright.PENANABOSUau2LzU
"you wouldn't have known i was staring if you weren't looking too"
36Please respect copyright.PENANASCtz3poY9Y
I looked back up at him and saw him looking down at his phone with a huge grin.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdTFrZh2k5C
"you caught me"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdVBLxEQi20
"Why are you smiling at your phone so hard who are you texting?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUo5bUI5hgJ
My eyes shot back up to Jordan.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgAPqfs2JB5
"If it's Ian I'm going to die."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAjSduhGjWCu
"Should I start planning your funeral then?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9XNEQ3geHH
"No way. You're totally in love."
36Please respect copyright.PENANATF5BG9aZSl
"Definitely not."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAKL7N09s0Hu
"You can deny it all you want. Either you're super horny or super in love. I say both."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgcxQMgN3Yr
"I'm neither."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOx0YRPTX0h
"You need to have sex ASAP."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAjT7uQksFzR
"No I don't!"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA13JN921i1e
"Okay let me ask you this. Do you want to date Ian or fuck him?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkTXGcM1itn
"Is he even been able to date anyone with Macy glued to his hip like that?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAefeDSX4YiE
"Honestly, I've only seen him with a handful of girls and I'm pretty sure they were just hookups."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAifIJCrq9a5
"How can she still want him so bad after knowing he's hooks up with other girls? Doesn't she get the hint that he's not into her?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzPOQ1uESan
"Vee it's 2023. People have meaningless sex all the time. Sex is just sex. Nothing more nothing less. Macy no doubt hooks up with other people too. As long as their parents are friends she's going to always think she has a secure spot with him in her future."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAhNnewxd3Ps
I wonder if they've ever hooked up.
36Please respect copyright.PENANATDpsOgko06
"We need to have a sleepover so I can properly educate you."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVHjlevpoCa
"Educate me on what?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA45GD2989uw
"Sex."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAKMpvJL175J
"Jordan-"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAnvaLORm0NN
"I don't want any objections. I don't care what history book you learned about sex in but I'm going to show you the real shit."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAGnJiQnQ612
"Show?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA1NWW3XhkJ2
"Yes. So if you ever get the opportunity to hook up with Ian, or anyone else, you'll be ready."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAFGYCVSwxbv
I sighed in defeat.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAyozZf1Q9z5
She was right I knew little to nothing about sex. I'll never admit it to her though or her ego will be inflated and she'll rub it in my face and say I told you so.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWuvwjNRMUI
"What about this Friday? I'll tell Sarah too. I feel like I haven't talked to her in ages."
36Please respect copyright.PENANANa0I54KXJh
"Friday sounds good."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAynLugq7XMF
"Okay perfect"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2fQPsDOpgM
We continued talking the remainder of lunch until I had to go to my Calculus class.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANrg8hOkvRK
We had a big test coming up on Monday and the teacher gave us a review to complete in class to study with. I couldn't focus in class at all.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAt96s2aN51W
The bell rang and it was time for me to go to my last class. I didn't even answer one question of the review the teacher handed out and was mad at myself for being so fixated on Ian.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAvFJVJl5kPS
I entered the art building after a few minutes of walking and finally reached the classroom. I sat in my usual seat and was almost late.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAfSUjSOeT3M
"Okay good afternoon class. Thank you to most of you for turning in your assignment early and making my job easier."
36Please respect copyright.PENANARUSkXAiYbo
The door swung open and Ian came in late as per usual but Miss J was so used to it she didn't react.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAGUtMdGQds3
"You're almost on time today Mr. Peters."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAf9mKFlqxlL
He sat down in front of me and the teacher continued on.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2enzE0scJZ
"As most of you know our annual art show is happening in a few of months. Now is a good time if you want to enter to do it soon. Entries close late September but it's already going to be the 1st very soon. Submission fees are to be paid at the time of enrollment no exceptions. This years theme is-"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAA7HBU33mYk
She shuffled the papers in her hand searching for the theme.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAW46djx8p4Z
"-Love and Pleasure. A depiction of love and pleasure through each creators mind which is up for interpretation. Is it an inevitable fate for all or meaningless sensation that passes with time? Dedicated to the late Mrs. Walter, founder of the Lakeston Gallery."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAY83ePAX1qE
Miss J put the papers down after she finished reading the submission details. She grabbed a new stack of papers and handed them out to each person in the room and stopped by Ian's desk.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAnkA5COHCle
"Mr. Peters I'm eager to see what you'll create this year."
36Please respect copyright.PENANANNm6Iht2hx
She handed him the paper and continued going down the row.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAh5DQY7E0vl
"Alright everyone open your books up to Chapter 6 in your text book."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAacfgopeHFT
The lesson continued on as usual and I wasn't really paying attention. I was doodling in my sketchbook a picture of a hand.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAEh7gbA8o3H
"Hi."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAfP2tOQEgnn
I looked up from my sketchbook and Ian was turned around to face me.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9uS90Lp0zj
"Hi."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgnxAL7IJY0
I looked down at his neck and noticed an unfamiliar piece of jewelry dangling down. It was a shoe lace and at the end of it was the green metal ring I gave him.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAsKrIerGN7P
"You kept it?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAyggPBmTcY5
He looked down and lifted up the ring from his chest.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA7B9I9IqxgU
"Why wouldn't I?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAyfPgd4nYog
"It's a fake ring from a gumball machine. It was like 25 cents."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAmatltCGrco
"I love it."
36Please respect copyright.PENANABqyyheKFW3
"Okay suit yourself."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtXv4V7Dy0w
"Are you going to submit something to the art gallery?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANArQu38raXGz
"I wish I could but I can't afford the submission fee. What about you?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQFz2Hx7Hyj
"I don't know yet."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAdlkAF29KZQ
"I thought you do every year? What's changed?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAOPmNiJ7ISl
"I don't know, I've hit a creative wall. I think you'd have a good chance at winning the scholarship this year."
36Please respect copyright.PENANALjlAie6emh
"Art isn't really a burning passion of mine. I wouldn't want to take the scholarship away from someone who really deserves it. I think if anyone deserves that scholarship it's you."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAcPNPorJsNC
"I don't know... it doesn't feel right to accept the scholarship."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVzu7Dscz8R
"Ian I've seen your art work and your sketches. Even your doodles are amazing. You want to get into an art school and it just so happens that winning artist gets a full ride to one of the best art schools in the country? I don't think it's a coincidence, I think it's fate."
36Please respect copyright.PENANASprJlTS8lZ
"Fate?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA8ThRzoQQk9
"Mhm."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAJAjWMwLH3m
"Maybe you're right."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAEcXqFelLcF
"I am right."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtEUR36wX7T
"If art isn't a burning passion for you, what is?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAO7QPUdXg1V
"I don't think I have one. I'm still discovering what I like."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAIQpKe7lrib
"Do you have any plans after graduation?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3NFwaj6tl
"Hmmm. Go to college, become a famous author and become rich." I said half joking.
36Please respect copyright.PENANABDc9pf4UrT
"An author?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAJM1gRBLUN8
"Yup."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAsBmJhFGbFj
"What kind of books would you write."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAn9wt57c5QM
"Romance novels."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAYp5YdCI2P4
"Really? I never would've guessed you'd be into writing. I've never seen you write anything before."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAtz7jKRbYyx
"Well it's been a year since I've written anything. I wrote a short story last year and uploaded it online and it didn't do good so I stopped and I guess I just haven't found the motivation to write."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAq4617fDdzy
"Can I read it?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAHDJ2aShUgt
"My short story?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAzyfaH5MeUQ
"Yeah, is it still online?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANAF5EUpG8wki
"Yes it is but it's embarrassing. No one in the world knows I wrote it."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUWcZfYXjAi
"Except for me."
