pretention
~erin. the thing we call this boy i dig.
the thing that makes me dislike him.
the thing that makes me like him.
pretention . . . for some reason it also means confidence.
i've never had someone confidently compliment me before.
i've never had someone mean it in such a way that it can be said in an offhand way
. . . like it's common knowledge.
i hate compliments.
but i like them when they're said like everyone already knows them to be fact.
the boy we call pretention makes me feel visible.
