                          Mom’s always tells me I listen to my music way too loud – that I might as well not have earphones in since everyone else can hear it. I guess she’s right because as Birdie walks by me in the hallway, she stops dead in her tracks, eyes widening.
                          “That song,” she gasps, as I yank out an earphone. “I know that song!”
                          “Really?” 
                          “I thought I was the only one on the planet who knew that song.” She flicks aside a strand of her hair. She’s pretty, so pretty. I can’t believe she doesn’t have a guy hanging off of her. Where are her friends?
                          We’re in the same English class and I watch her flit in and flit out, all alone.
                          “So did I.”
