hey

Hi

You okay?

Yep. Fine

People say they're fine but they're really not

True. True but it's different. I'm fine.

Really?

Yes.

Okay.

Honestly, Carolina didn't feel okay. She didn't feel fine. She felt shitty, sad, depressed. She wanted to crawl into a hole and cry.

"Hey Carolina," She turns to see her friend, Nicola.

"Hey Pepsi." Everyone called her Pepsi, ever since Crash McDougall had asked in the third grade, "Isn't that a soda pop name? Pepsi Cola?" And that started it all. She hated it but she's gotten used to it after all these years.

"Are you okay?" She asks, putting a hand on her arm, giving Carolina a sympathetic look. She nods.

"I'm fine."
