Semester 3
The Slap, the Shaking, and the Message I Could Not Take Back
A friend said something about her that I could not digest. I reacted before I could think. And then a single accidental tap on Snapchat sent a request I could not unsend.
Memories
Phase one. My friend pulled her name out and started commenting. I could not stay stable
I rushed him and slapped him with my left hand, then went straight to my classroom
My legs were not under my control. My eyes went wet. I had no idea what was happening to me
I had genuinely never felt intensity like that before, and I have not since
My friend had work to do with me. I left with him. Everything after that happened while I was not there
My other friend went to Aditya and told him exactly what happened
Then I opened her Snapchat. Accidentally. I tapped follow, and within a split second I tapped unfollow
The request had already been sent
