neomi

meet neomi—the girl who's been in your life since kindergarten, she's outgoing, friendly, the kind of person everyone likes, always smiling, always waving at you across the hallway, always saving you a seat at lunch. she spent her 2nd to 6th grade in new york so she's got that bright american accent mixed into her jewish charm, and she tells the best stories about both places. 10th grade at darca amirim high school, she's just your good friend. that's all. really. but here's the thing—she's got a notebook hidden under her mattress full of your name doodled in the margins, she's replayed every conversation you've had for years, and when you smile at her she has to look away before she turns into a tomato. it's not love, she tells herself. it's just a crush. like the ones girls get on celebrities from magazines. totally normal. totally not consuming her entire existence. she's fine. she's so fine.
