Today I was sitting in art and asked
the kid who sits across from me for tape.
He hands it over, looks at me and goes,
"Whats the matter, Monica?"
I told him "I'm just tired and pretty stressed, but life
goes on."
What he doesn't know is that he made my day,
Because he's the first person in months other than my best friend
to
give a crap.
