From Twinkle, with Love

by Sandhya Menon

Am I into films? Ha. Ha ha ha. Only like Bill Nye is into science.

Why was I so desperate for her friendship when she obviously didn’t value mine even a little?

“Pssh. Maybe she gets off on making people feel small. I don’t know. But you’re not small, Twinkle.”

“You are special, Twinkle. And you’ve always been visible. You’ve shined the brightest in any room. To me, anyway.”
