I don't like this one. I really don't. But I had to do months, and I was determined not to do an "Addison's favorite month" because it's so obvious. But. Anyway. That's the price I pay.
Months
It's been a month, and he still won't look at her. Oh, he sees her, but he doesn't really look. He never sees intentionally, and that's what stings.
Two months ago, it might have killed her, she's so desperate with Mark.
Four months ago, she wouldn't have noticed, so caught up without him that she's developed a buffer, because she's determined not to feel.
Eight months ago, and she would be happy with his non-looking.
But it's been one month since she's come to Seattle, and now it's just Gossip Girls with scalpels.
Reference: This is, I think, the only anachronism in this 100, but I've been frustrated with the presence of Gossip Girls in my school since...they started. Cecily von Ziegesar wrote a series of novels called Gossip Girl #insipidminddeterioration that, if it were not for the ridiculously annoying characters, might have something to say about today's society. It's all about rich girls in the Upper East Side partying it up and being racist and dating recreational drug addicts. The plot lines are only realisitcally feasible for upscale private boarding school girls. And while I've never read a book, I know all about them because of my classmates. Reminds me of Grey's, specifically Callie's "We're still in high school," line.
Wow. That was as bad as "Life."
