Boy Proof
“He doesn’t answer my instant messages. He’s right in front of me in Global History class every day and he never once turns around to chat with me anymore.
I always thought I was lonely, but now that no one is talking to me, I really know what lonely is.
In English class, Max is still sitting right next to me. I can smell him. I think he smells good. I want to reach over and touch his arm and make him turn to look at me. But no matter how much I jiggle in my seat and make noise, he just keeps lo...oking straight forward.
Today, I swear, I am going to fix it. I am going to say something.
“Can I borrow a pen? Mine is out of ink,” I say.
Max doesn’t answer. He continues working on his essay.
“Max, please talk to me.”
Max doesn’t answer. He’s hesitating, though. I’m wearing him down.
“Max, I’m really sorry,” I say. I really am sorry. I miss Max Carter. I miss my old loner life. The one that was full of people.
He leans back on his chair and dips his hand into his bag and gets me a pen.MoreLess
