Only Mostly Devastated

by Sophie Gonzales

I fled like a bigot dodging the concept of equality.

Once or twice, I’d actually caught her staring at him while he slept with a slightly deranged expression, while whispering, “Sleep well, Anna,” to him. I assumed Crista was probably Frozen role-playing, so I didn’t ask. Well, that and because I was secretly terrified she’d come out with something horrifying, like, “Anna was the girl who lived here a hundred years ago, and is currently sleeping next to Dylan right now.”

I think it was supposed to resemble an animal, but mostly, it resembled my nightmares.

I didn’t know I had that much sass dwelling under the surface.

Thankfully, Mom and Dad raised me to aim low, to encourage a healthy contentment in hitting par.

CHOCOLATE IS THE ANSWER, BUT WHAT WAS THE QUESTION?
