FRO Monologue

I check my phone 7:44- No reply

7:45- Nothing

7:55- I really need to stop this and focus on my homework.

Ring!

My heart drops.

I quickly pick up my phone to read a notification! From.. “The Wall Street Journal..

*Sigh.

Disappointed, I grudgingly pick up my pencil again wondering why I’m even subscribed to the Wall Street Journal; I don’t read the news.

Finally, when I give up on waiting for you to reply, assume you’ve died, and host a funeral for you in my head

You reply.

With “L-O-L”

I don’t know how my paragraph long message could be possibly answered with a single word- not even a full word but a three letter acronym

and the 50:1 ratio of my messages to yours is super depressing

But this is still better than nothing so I can’t help but smile like a fool and start planning out our wedding again.

I know I should play hard to get but I can’t fight the urge to text back right away.

If I spent this much energy on my schoolwork, I would be valedictorian.

I rant to my friends but by this point, they’ve had it with my stupidity.

“Omg drop him. He’s not worth it.” They say

I really should get over you.

But then again I should also stop eating ice cream for breakfast.

I guess you’re just like the millions of health problems I have to live with.
