Dear Jessica,
I got caught up in a very interesting conversation today.
During recess, Elieen was talking to Thalia and me about Neil Down's (her twin brother's) role in the play that his teacher (an old lady in a walker by the way) wrote.10Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ltjlhsddo
"...Like, he's always blushing when she's around." 10Please respect copyright.PENANAGLQbOXZbrI
"Hey, Elieen, Thalia, Lotus, whacha talking about?" asked Mya. 10Please respect copyright.PENANAArzTsy4ZoO
Elieen responded, "Well, you know how Neil got the Prince in that play we're doing outside of school??? I think he's in love with the 'princess'!!!"
"Oh, what does she look like?" Mya asked.
"Um, she has blond hair and blue eyes. And she's pretty short too, but she wears about a pound of makeup and hair gel. She also wears the most skimpiest low-cut tops to rehearsal" I explain. It was true though.
I thought for a moment. This was Neil we were talking about. I have known him for almost two years, more than Thalia and Mya, but obviously less than Elieen, of course. Neil doesn't seem like the guy to "like" a girl, just like that. Once in fifth grade, before he's even heard of Bryana, he ate hand sanitizer just so he could tell me that he can.
But before I could process some more, Elieen and Mya were singing Grease's:
"Summer loving, had me a blast
Summer loving, happened so fast"
Then, Elieen claims to have overheard Neil on call with Jensen once. Supposedly, Neil was trying to focus and lock in for his ending pose, but his director placed him onstage with Bryana and her "huge tits" .
"Who, Bryana?" I ask. "Isn't she like 15 years old?"
"I don't really know, Teagain," said Thalia. "I think Bryana's in 9th or 10th grade."
I was waiting for Elieen to change the subject and talk about her OWN crush, Eli the Vegetarian, though literally every girl in drama club, except for me and Thalia, simps for him. (you didn't hear it from me though!)
So, if Elieen was right, Neil a 7th grader, likes a literal high schooler.
Man, these kids keep surprising me.
