I just don't get it. Yesterday he picked me twice in Duck, Duck, Goose. Today when we're coloring he won't even look at me. Maggie, you are a beautiful, strong-willed, independent girl. And if Johnny doesn't see that, it's his loss. And he told it raphael that I have cuties. Why would he say that I have cuties? Cooties. You can't read so much into that, Maggie. Michael said that I had cooties for like all of kindergarten and now we're crazy happy. We're going on three weeks now. I just want what you guys have. I want a Tommy in my life. Oh no you don't. I mean sometimes, yeah, it's great. But with Tommy it's like I give and I give and I give and all he does is take. And it's different. Isn't he a second grader? Yeah, yeah, sure. I just feel like we're in the same place in our lives right now. I think I'm in the friend zone. What makes you say that? Well, yesterday at lunch he asked, do you want to be friends? Oh yeah, if he asked you if you want to be friends, you're in the friend zone. You just gotta be direct. When Michael started acting all weird, I was like, listen, either we're a thing or we're not a thing. It was the same way with Tommy. She's like, I'm not ready for a relationship. And I'm like, if not now, when? We're not getting any younger. I hear you, girl. I mean, he hits me so he doesn't like me or he hits me because he does. I just don't get it. I hear ya. Sometimes I think it'd be easier if we were all lesbians. Amen, sister. I don't know a lot of these words.
