TAKE HER TO THE LAKES WHERE ALL THE POETS WENT TO DO, RIGHT?

indie stewart loved lakes, she had  ever since she was a little girl.

it was so odd.

the girl who hated bodies of water, loved sitting by them and loved looking at them. yet never swimming, never.

she loved walking down the by the water, it felt like skipping along flower petals or even like dancing on small fluffy cotton candy.

and then there she was, sitting on the dock by the beautiful lake, rhe the sturniolo family rented a lake house for the next few days just for indie.

her headphones in her ears a small muffin placed in between her slim fingers while the beautiful smell of flower petals stroked her lungs.

indigo picks at her finger nails with a small sad sigh.

she didn't know why she was sad, it was weird.

here she was sitting by her dream spot listening to her dream song and eating her dream cupcake.

but indie was that type of person.

the type that, speaks to you so fondly about book, music, stars, then stops short.

and apologizes for speaking at all.

all because somewhere in her life someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares, you talk too much.

people are not born sad.

we make them that way.

matt sturniolo.

that was one small scrawny skinny boy that danced around her mind with a hula hoop like he was teasing her.

indie had a dream.

it wasn't any dream, it was of her and matt.

a dream that she never thought she would have.

because they kissed, and she liked it, she really really liked it.

but it was just a dream!

feeling a small weight sit next to her indigo turns her head.

the boy she was just thinking of was plopped right there.

look at him so innocent, so stupid! how could he be in her dream?! that's like stupid and he knows better. it's his fault she felt sick right now.

"i gotta tell you something!" indigo blurts out.

his head turns to her with a soft smile.

"go ahead."

"i uh."

"i kinda..." she paused gulping

"you kinda what?"

oh matt you don't wanna know.

"i had a dream of me and you last night." she grimaced while saying out loud.

his mouth opened agape with a little scoff chuckle.

"matt!" indie screams with a whine.

"i'm sorry!"

"i'm sorry, i mean, was it dirty?" he asks with a cheeky grin.

"i'm out." indie starts getting up while picking her stuff up.

but the boy grabs her wrist with a giggle.

"i'm playing, i'm kidding." he confirmed.

"good." indie grits sitting back down.

quiet again.
