Because sometimes when someone is telling you something really important, it’s best to just let there be silence, to really think about what they’re saying. A lot of times people think they have to say something all insightful or wise or something to try and make the person feel better. But really, sometimes silence is best.

I just have a hard time with small talk. My friend Jocelyn says I’m too quiet, but I’m really not quiet. I just tend to come across that way to new people because I don’t like to talk first. What if the other person doesn’t want to be bothered?

I prefer to subscribe to that whole, “everything happens for a reason” theory, mostly because the alternative is too disturbing to think about.

I’m guessing I’m your fake girlfriend? B. J. Asks, sighing. It’s a miracle that he figured it out. He’s not usually the best with things that aren’t spelled out for him. Of course, sweetie, I say. I try not to think about the fact that I’m talking to B. J. Like we’re in love. B. J. Is six-foot-four and 220 pounds. Not someone you want to think about being intimate with.

Manipulating situations is one thing, but lying is another. My theory (especially with girls) is that if you don’t lie, you can’t be held responsible for anything bad that goes down.

My eyes are a little blood shot from crying, and my hair’s messy. But other than that i don’t look like someone who’s world is falling apart.

Not for the first time, I wonder what it would feel like that, to be so beautiful that you don’t even realize people are watching you, to be so confident that you don’t even have to worry about being nervous or feeling self-conscious. I’ve spent what seems like my whole life trying to pretend I’m that way. What would it be like to have it just come naturally?

Parents don’t get that, though. They don’t understand about the fragility of teen friendships. They don’t understand how easy it is for things to break apart, how someone you thought would be by your side forever can just disappear, or turn on you, or decide she likes someone more than she likes you. Parents always talk about romantic relationships being so ephemeral and fleeting in high school. What they don’t get is that friendships can be the same way.
