what to expect from us

We try to stay quiet

despite the class being

nearly empty,

silent.

Muffle our laughter,

lower our heads,

cover our mouths,

attempting to

suppress our stalling.

Difficult

when your best friend

is next to you,

showing you the

funniest, stupidly

entertaining songs

that you never

thought you'd hear.

But you're not surprised

either.

You expect this kind

of crap,

and it makes you

smile.

Because after all,

she is your

best friend.

  • thinking in three dots

    broke out a pen, not a pencil

    i usually use pencils for english homework,

    mechanical ones,

    teal or purple.

    but i guess it's different

    with forgotten homework,

    either rushed or

    completed by chatgpt

  • but i love you

    I dread going to school every single day.

    I hate it,

    I hate being trapped there.

    But I love being greeted by my best friend

    who could make hell

    feel as freezing as

    these February Maryland mornings.
