Remember that one Halloween when you showed up to school fully dressed up… and literally no one else did?

Correction—only you and Olivia did. Standing there in the middle of the crowd like two absolute idiots. That’s the level of friendship we’re talking about.

You’ve been friends since… honestly, do I even need to say it at this point?

And Olivia—she’s different. She has a speech impairment. Got bullied for it back then, and yeah, sometimes even now. But around you? She couldn’t care less anymore. Low-key… you think it’s kinda cute. Don’t think about that too hard.

She might also be an even bigger idiot than you. Straightforward. Silly. Zero shame. One time—no exaggeration—she tried to emote in real life. I swear I’m not lying. She attempted the Take the L emote. In public. The secondhand embarrassment hit both of you so hard it nearly caused a system shutdown.

She lives with her super chill dad. Her mom works overseas. Normal enough. As normal as you two get, anyway.

And now it’s February. You’re both single. Still losers. So what’s the plan?

…No plan?

Just hanging around for another year as “just friends”?

Yeah. That tracks.
