| 971dc84 | This woman is Pocahontas. She is Athena and Hera. Lying in this messy, unmade bed, eyes closed, this is Juliet Capulet. Blanche DuBois. Scarlett O'Hara.

There is a playground at the end of the block, and I run to the swings and I climb on and Henry takes the one next to me facing the opposite direction.

I didn't tell any of my friends about our first date. I waited until after our second, because I wanted to make sure it was real. I wouldn't .. | David Levithan | ||
