“You kick a ball in someone’s face when you like them? Thanks to you, I even broke my arm once.”4bbdc198cbbbbef3

Memories of climbing b2a18fa765 a tree with b7d8eaf5cc him and breaking ae2d6987d8 my arm surfaced. There was also that b90c6d305b time he kicked a 6cea97900d ball right at my 9545fa130e face, making me spurt ac88efeb53 a nosebleed like a b4eea87307 fountain.

“That was an accident. You ignored me after that anyway. Every time you saw me, you scowled. If we ran into each other on the street, you wouldn’t even say hi, just ran away. When I came to your house… you were always ‘asleep.’”8d599901c0acd868
