I own nothing.
Part One : Confessions of a Virgin
CHAPTER 25
Wednesday I visit Mr. Anderson after school again.
Hes just as grumpy as before.
Laying in his bed, glaring at the ceiling.
Laughing at his own jokes that don't make sense.
This time I make more of an effort to engage him in conversation.
I ask him what interests him.
Where hes from.
What he was like before he became a grumpy old man.
He laughs at me when I tell him this.
He says he was wrong about me.
I do have fire in me.
I just need to find it.
Believe in it; myself.
When I leave I'm surprised to find I actually like Mr. Anderson.
I look forward to spending more time with my grumpy old man.
This time I don't eat anything Esme gives me.
I've learned from my mistakes.
~*.confessions.*~
I run into you in the parking lot.
It looks as if you were waiting for someone.
I refuse to believe it was me.
You ask if I received your note.
I reply that I had, but what's it matter what I think of you.
You tell me your mom loves me, so there must be something everyone else misses.
You tell me you want to find out what it is.
You want the chance to see why she loves me so much.
This puzzles me…
I'm not sure if I want you to find it.
I'm not sure if I want to let you in.
