MAY

"I fall in love with boys I see on the tv screen. The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be. I spend all of my time imagining what it would be like if they existed.

"Why was that so sad?" I sob into mum's shoulder as she strokes my hair and gives Dad a look. We had just finished watching 'The Notebook' which Dad had thought Mum and I might find bearable. We didn't.

"There, There, it's okay." Mum replies as Dad sits down on the couch next to me and rests a hand on my shoulder. His jaw slightly agape from the ending as he pauses the credits.

I look out at the screen that's now paused and sigh into Mum's shoulder. As she cups my face and strokes away the leftover tears on my cheeks.

"I didn't know that was gonna be so sad." Tao mutters to himself as he blankly stares at the paused tv then looks at the clock, "Shit- it's 11, you need to get to sleep May it's a school night."

I nod and yawn as I sit up and stretch kissing each of my parents on the cheek before walking upstairs still sobbing slightly. Who writes a fucking ending like that.

"And so that lead me to my conclusion that this years school play must be Our Town!" Madi says enthusiastically as I nod and yawn poking a fork into my salad as I pretend to listen to her exceedingly long talk about why the school play has to be Our Town. That girl takes theatre kid to a whole other level.

But she's good. Like crazy good.

Last year our school put on wicked and she was Glinda, her and the girl who played Elphaba Liliana (a total bitch if you ask me) did so well they got mentioned in the local paper.

"Hello? Earth to May! Are you even listening?" I blink and refocus my eyes on Madi who has her eyebrow raised at me.

"Sorry, yeah our town?" I say diverting my full attention to Madi, as she took a bite of her sandwich. Normally Hallee would be sitting here with us but ever since she joined the cheer team she'd been eating with C them, hanging with them, leaving us for them.

Madi continued rambling on about the play and her ideas till someone slams their lunch box down next to us and we look up and see Gen. Madi gives me a look as the blonde leans her head on Madi's shoulder before perking back up.

For Context. Madi and I used to be best friends with Gen until we got to high school. She changed her entire fucking personality on the first day. She had even let it slip that Madi had 2 dads which still to this day Madi gets bullied about on occasion.

"Hi Ge-" Madi says awkwardly as the girl stares at her phone and texts rapidly, cutting Madi off by putting a finger to her lips. Then finally she drops the finger and turns to Madi.

"So I need to deliver a message." Madi raises an eyebrow as Gen whispers something in Madi's ear that makes her go pale, "Anyway aside from that you guys are invited to my Birthday party next weekend, cool?"

We both nod in sync and before we can even say bye, Gen simply stands up and walks away. The second she is out of earshot Mads and I burst out laughing.

I sit next to Tyler Spring in the small confines of the space that is the art room. I lean over and put my head on his shoulder to see what he's painting, it's a... cat. Boring I KNOW.

But some reason this boy has had me blushing so hard ever since the first day he sat next to me in art class. Then it happened. We both reach for the paintbrush at the same time, our hands touching slightly. But still enough to make my heart race.

Then he shatters it. Shrugs. Takes the paintbrush and goes back to painting. That was the last straw, "Why do you ignore me, I've sat next to you for almost half a year. We've said what? Three words to each other."

He cocks his head at me think before turning back to his painting and finally responding to me, "I though this was Art Club. Not talking to the annoying girl next to me club."

I freeze. Then I pick up my paintbrush, smear it across his arms, grab my bags and leave. God boys suck.
