i was angry at my self for what happened with donald for what happened with heath

got on the bus and sat next to some guy

looked at him and gave him a compliment

my hair was in the in between stage

the blue faded so i tried dying it red but turned pink after two washes

he asked me for my name

i wrote the one heath gave me down, backwards now that i look at it

he was nice

so i thought id talk with him more

it was the first time i didn't want to have sex with a stranger

but i actually wanted to

went both ways

i ripped out a page and wrote him a note

in case he was questioning my motives

so whatever your name is, im leaving you my list

theres no reason for it anyways

when im 45 im not gonna care who i fucked

but you like harry potter

i have a thing for looking through guy's stuff

don't take it personally

plus you annotate too

and just so we're clear

you broke my heart

I hate the rain. I hate rain with a burning passion, like the fire of a thousand suns.

I get out of the yellow taxi, smelling like tuna fish and Dunkin Donuts coffee, to pay the cab fare.

As the taxi drives off, I readjust my satchel on my shoulder and approach Simon's house.

I hear footsteps approaching Simon opens the door. "Hey, Walt."

"D'you wanna make out in the rain?" I ask.

He blinks. "Maybe next time."

I nod. "Yeah, I'm a bit drenched at the moment." I conclude and follow him inside. Closing the door behind me, I remove my shoes and go into the living room. I'm shocked to see Faith sitting next to Uri on one of the couches. "What are you doing here?" 

Faith looks a bit startled to see me. "Oh, Uri dropped by the florist and I decided to tag along."

"It's okay, you know, to love them both." I look over my shoulder to see Katherine, leaning her shoulder against the doorframe. Her hair is curled to perfection, as always, and like usual she is wearing heels with skinny jeans, a blouse, and dark jacket. "I did."
