You ask me if I'm here, well yes and no... maybe physically, but mentally I'm somewhere else. My mind travels from place to place like: Why am I here? and who am I? Do I have a reason to exist? What are my friends saying behind my back? So I catch only half of the situation...2
"He tried...many days in...tomorrow...I want him...he's going to prom...3
I zone in and out, my new thoughts are: I wonder what my mom is going to be mad at me about today. WAIT, did she just say she wants him? Who's him Hmmm, I wonder if she means she's going to prom with him. I zone back in for a few seconds... "Did you hear me?" Umm...yeah. I say even though my mind is in a different galaxy...it wanders again... I think prom is stupid, I have no-one to go with, so what's the point? I don't have a chance on Earth with Michael Wylie. 4
The day of the prom
5I sit at home reading Robert Frost, and listening to Linkin Park's 'Breaking The Habit'. I still can't stay zoned in... I wonder why I'm grounded? I wonder why Jess hasn't called today Did we have plans? Hmmm... I don't remember6
The day after the prom
7I hear someone calling my name... "Evie... Where were you last night? Michael said you stood him up!"8
Huh...? What...?9
"I told you Michael Wylie wanted to go to prom with you."10
WHAT?!?! Michael Wylie, the God of everything good and decent...? I don't remember you telling me that...!11
I was completely atuned to earth now...12
" He told me he liked you, and had been trying to ask you for many days in Zoology, and he was going to ask you again the next day but you werent there, he also said you seemed dazed, are you okay?" No I'm not, I can't concentrate on anything...sorry...13
Same day in the caffeteria14
"Umm... Hi, Evelyn? Yeah? I turn around to see who just said my name... OH MY GOD... MICHAEL IS TALKING TO ME...TO ME!!!*15
I WILL FINISH THIS LATER!!!16
