Money see, monkey do.

I liked his hair, I liked his voice, I thought he hated me. He didn't, he liked me, more than I liked him. He called me babe once, and I laughed, and was convinced he was mocking me. He wasn't, he calls everyone something like that.
And now he's one of the best friends I've ever had.

She was tiny, and graceful, and pretty, and at first glance absolutely flawless.
But it wasn't until I saw the flaws that I was able to love her. She was a spy into his mind on a few occasions, and it was only through doing her a favor that one got done in return, to me. And once she gave me advice that ended badly, but who knows, if I hadn't taken it, things might've been worse.

Our hair was the same length. He was a fascinating stranger who stared at me during rehearsals. One day in the vaum we shared my twizzlers and talked about books and laughed a lot. He was my best friend until he "fell in love" with me. That's really when it all started.

He was quiet, and homeschooled, and scary.
I never thought that one day he'd be able to put his fingers to the keys and make me have a new favorite song.

I don't even remember. How weird is that, I don't even remember our meeting, but I remember seeing her through the glass when my best friend told me a secret by the water-fountain that fateful day. And walking through Carrborro, she was on my friend's other side, and tried on her glasses. And later on, once I was home, he told me he thought she looked lonely, but I spelled her name with two p's instead of three.

The girl I knew from when I was in fourth grade and she was in fifth. She was one of my best friends in the world.
She always said fifth grade was horrible. I wonder now if that had anything to do with liking the straight fourth grade girl in her OM class who told her about the pretty blond boy at her church while they were getting water from the fountain outside the cafeteria? So many secrets get told around water-fountains.

We rode on the bus to drama class together, I didn't want her to be in the class. I went to school with her, I went to church with her, I wanted something that was just mine. But now I love her more than ever, because she's so amazing at making sure awkward moments never happen, and if she whispers in his ear when I'm holding his hand, we can just look at each other and laugh, because she also believes in vampires and zombies.
