I sneak into her room.

She isn’t asleep this time.

She’s awake.

Wide awake.

Her eyes are open.

They’re looking at me.

I look at her.

I didn’t ask if I could lie with her.

I just did.

She moved over.

She held my hand.

She whispers.

She says we’re still not friends.

I say okay.

I smile.

I don’t no why.
