I used to call her My oh my because she was the girl that braided her hair with yours and she was the one that woke up in the morning with grass stains on her ankles and dew on her shoulders.

In high school she came up to me and grabbed me by the arm. We walked up the stairs that led to the fourth floor and sat on a bench next to the darkroom. I looked at the long row of lockers and how its locks seemed so pleased being together. She pulled up my sleeve and bit me ’til it left a mark. She left me a scent of giggles and a note on my skin saying: “Now you’ll remember me.”

I walked around for five days with a bruise that had the backside of a rainbow and screams of My oh my. I’ve never been so angry before.
