Fake Boyfriend, real hair.”
He waves back.
“Maybe that’s why they did the recall,”
“That’s the reason they did the recall,
“People are so impressionable,” Ainslie says.
Haha
Weird. Question
she’s fairly sure that all of this is fake, this whole night, the way she finds herself acting around Ainslie and Elin and Sky tonight, maybe this whole year.
And if it’s not fake, if it’s all real, this fun, these friends, this life, then that’s even worse, isn’t it?
She’s in a horrible mood because she’s a horrible friend who wants everything that belongs to Ainslie.
Haha
Eyelashes like black fans. Skin just like skin. Even his fingernails are perfect and so real, as real as anything Immy has ever seen.

Haha
Haha

Haha
She doesn’t want a soundtrack for her life.
Apparently Elin wants real, even if real isn’t all that great.
Elin isn’t always a good friend, but okay, she’s a real friend

Haha
They’re making each other realer the longer they look at each other, and isn’t that what love should be? Isn’t that what love should do?

All Immy can think about is Mint.
Haha
