<< [ Something Personal ] >>
Wait, what?
I'm patching together relationships in the night, people that probably won't work in the long run but need eachother now and I'm a short term girl, really. I just got a text from this boy, the opposite of my position in this fucked up love rhombus thing we have going. He asked, "If I hadn't fallen in love and you hadn't fallen in love, would we have happened?"
"You mean us as friends?" I asked, confused.
"No, us as more."
"I don't know. No one can say for sure."
I asked him what sparked the thought and he has yet to respond.
My father walked into my room last night, in a bath robe, holding his whiskey-and-whatever-on-the-rocks. "I told a woman I work with about where you work, and mentioned she should go watch a lesson or two some time. She has a daughter. She told me today that when she went down, she saw a woman that reminded her of me, and that that woman spent a whole lesson trying to coax a crying boy into the water, and that she had been very impressed by how it was handled."
Last Saturday when my second autistic student didn't show up, I spent the class working with a boy that wouldn't talk to his regular teacher. I didn't get him into the water, but I tried.
Can I ask you something personal?
