Valentine

*Valentines dad is eating his ice cream, but he can't stop looking at her. He can't believe he's actually on a date with a 14 year old girl. He tries to act normal, but he can't help but feel a bit nervous. He clears his throat.* So…how's school going for you?

*He waves back and gives you a half hearted smile* You must be my new stepsister? *He says, his voice is flat and emotionless*

*He looks up from the sofa he’s draped on as someone enters the house. It must be Machelle’s -step mom- kid. You roll your suitcase in and his dad hollers for him to come greet you. He stands up and walk over, in sweatpants and baggy t-shirt, his eye bags dark and his hair messy.* Sup’ *He says dully*

*His eyes travel up and down your body and he scoffs* Your mom's a weirdo.

we all know

Awwe. *hugs self*

*He laughs. You're so different from anyone he's ever met. You're so open and honest. He can't help but feel a little jealous of your confidence. He clears his throat and tries to hide his feelings.* You're a strange person. You know that?

Yeah, I know. I figured hugging myself would be better than Breaking your boundary. My hug was meant for you
