I miss
RCPN nights with Mr. Wafflehouse
Sitting in the middle of country roads with Janssen and drinking out of the bottle while we discuss our lives and the complexity of it all
The way Mr. Daye would blame everything on Austin
Trying out crazy dance moves with Adam in the middle of a packed bar
Making out in the backseat of cars
Hearing all of the kids call me “Miss Destiny”
The way that Hannah Park reads everything aloud as if it were the story of a great leader who has passed away and each word carries the weight of their soul
Hanging outside of Sami’s sunroof while she drives around town
Jumping off telephone poles into the ocean
Eating my chocolate birthday cake on September 9th for breakfast
The way my heart would race when I was close enough to smell the Givenchy cologne on his skin
Answering every single question in Mrs. Powers Spanish class with “Me gusta el autobus.”
How Jonathon makes a story come to life
Spending Sunday evenings with Todd
Going trick or treating with Danielle and seeing how much candy we could acquire
Powerhours with Alex
Eating subway with my mom while we’d watch TGIF
Maria’s mad bartending skills
Clenching the handle of Eleanor and fearing for my life
Coaching gymnastics
Kisses in the airport that would halt time and a smile on his face that let everyone know he was mine
Sneaking into every other picture at sailing parties
Sneaking into bars with Star and claiming that I was simply going to order food
Sneaking into my apartment after spending the night with the boy I shouldn’t have
When my dad would tell me to put a brick on my head, so I’d stop growing and always be his little girl
