Lovely Competition

Skye:


I didn't know loving could be so painful. She looks like Elysium with dyed hair and neon clothing. I'm surprised she ever even notices me. She says hello in hallways, and I forget to greet her back, because I keep thinking she's talking to someone else. None of this is bad though. What's bad is the fact that I'm the last person she would choose. And she has so many choices.

Ava:


She annoys me so much. The way she stays quiet when all I want is to hear her voice. The way she looks down when I want to see her eyes. I'm worried she doesn't notice me as much as I notice her. I say hi to her and she looks at her combat boots. Im worried she doesn't hear me-or worse-she doesn't want to. I know how many people like me. But they don't compete. I'm worried I do.
