this morning #1612.
this morning, i’d been so focused on the glow of last night’s positive talk with my family that i hadn’t even noticed that something was going on with one of my good friends. that’s why, when it was just us two hanging out after school, i was surprised to see him get all serious all the sudden. hushed tone. “yo. i need to tell you something super secret. you can’t tell anyone. pretty sure only one other person knows.” what was i supposed to say? i said “sure” & he told me about returning to the site where we’d buried the items from our past. dug up his bag & swapped out his item. opened up another bag. found a gun inside. thinks our friend might be in trouble. “man! glad i got that off my chest.” i stared back. not as glad.
