Barely Listening
100 Words
Paige tries to tell Alex that it isn't too late. There's still plenty of time for her to change her mind. Alex accuses of trying to make her something she isn't.
I know you're barely even listening.
"You're not even listening to me," Paige says, holding back the shout. She searches Alex eyes, trying to make her understand. Alex continues her rant about how college just isn't for her.
You can't shape love with a hammer.
"Can't you see?" Paige asks desperately.
This wasn't about college or post-Degrassi life.
You can't shape love with a will.
This was about them.

Author's Notes: Life and school keeps getting in the way, but I will not abandon these drabbles. The premiere of the new season has inspired me a bit. Italicized lines are song lyrics from the song Barely Listening by Pilot Speed (formerly called Pilate).
