I'm Not Who Everyone Thinks I Am

45.

So I met a boy.
He's new here.

He's here for the same reason I am.
Well, my cuts are a little more severe, but... Whatever.

He has the same free period as my new one.
He told me I looked nice yesterday.
I was in my all white uniform.
Even though I knew he was lying, it still felt good.


He's pretty cute, too.
Brown shaggy hair, kind of skinny, blue eyes.

His name is Reynolds.
I'm pretty sure that's a last name, but whatever.
I like it.


I really want something to happen.
I'm eighteen, and my last kiss was with a therapist who then called orderlies to restrain me.

Do you know what I want?
I want to feel normal.
