en	The only thing distinguishing it from the others is the tiny nametag on the door.

en	How much of my personality is just a product of being raised by an immigrant helicopter mother with no friends or family around to balance her out?

en	All I have to do is persevere and power through learning the language properly this time.

en	I'm not surprised that I have nothing to show for my six years of Chinese school. It feels like the knowledge is just washing over my brain like water over plastic.

en	Diya listens with a small smile as Noelle continues extolling the virtues of Taipei's trash-collecting system instead of describing any of the landmarks she visited.

en	What do you call it when you're grateful for the things your parents have done for you, but at the same time, you feel like they made critical mistakes that'll probably affect you forever?

en	As the Killer Whales file into the dugout, Noelle starts trekking to her spot in right field.

en	I hope that grass grows back soon so I don't have to keep hearing that joke.

en	I do feel a bit better equipped to man second base now than I did when I was first roped into this club.
ja	同好会に加わった当初のあたしだったら、二塁に立つなんて絶対無理だったでしょうね。少しは進歩してるみたい。

en	It bounces into the air and for one singularly terrifying moment, Noelle sees it coming straight at her!

en	Min hurls her next pitch, and the batter shifts into a bunting stance at the last second.

en	Or else you'll get lost in the sauce.

en	...The sauce? What sauce?

en	It's a metaphor for being out of touch with reality.

en	But I like to imagine barbeque sauce.

en	It's the bottom of the last inning. We just need one run to cinch our victory.

en	Thanks to Akarsha's antics, Global Warming enters the bottom of the final inning one run behind the Killer Whales.

en	Thanks to Akarsha's antics, the [teamName!t] enter the bottom of the final inning one run behind the Killer Whales.

en	We need to get at least one more run, or we'll lose.

en	Unfortunately, Sayeeda and Chryssa rack up two outs right off the bat.

en	Akarsha whiffs it for a strike.

en	We're all going to be haunted by that pee comment now and it didn't even work???

en	The team holds their collective breath as Jun-seo lets his next pitch fly.

en	Akarsha smacks it into foul territory.

en	Her voice comes out all choked and funny, and Noelle realizes with horror that she's crying.

en	To Noelle's dismay, she feels a strange, almost electric undercurrent of something running between their palms.

en	Diya blearily looks up from her textbook as Akarsha takes her usual seat in front of Noelle.

en	The bell rings!{w=0.26} This concludes Noelle and Akarsha's daily morning scream fest.

en	Most of her classmates have their heads buried in their Biology textbooks as they walk, desperately cramming for the impending test.

en	The ovule producing part of the flower. Next.

en	Like you could {i}potentially{/i} fall in love with someone?

en	But if you ignore it, it'll pass, eventually.

en	There was no preventing that. The two of you were drawn together with the force of a freight train.

en	But this isn't like that. This is more comparable to someone reaching a fork in a road.

en	There's insufficient evidence to suggest the subject in question would reciprocate my feelings, so perhaps this is putting the cart before the horse...

en	If I don't adhere to it, they'll badger me day and night. They'll never let me hear the end of it.

en	I wish I could rewire my brain to only crave approval from people I hold in high esteem.

en	All obvious.

en	C'mon, you don't need to be good at something to do it.
ja	まあまあ、上手にできなくてもええやん。

en	Oh balls! This is harder than I thought!
ja	タマげた！ 思ったよりむずいな！

en	With renewed confidence, Noelle spins in what turns out to be the completely wrong direction. Diya rears back to avoid crashing into her.
ja	自信が湧いたノエルはくるっと回ったが、反対方向へ進んだ。ディーヤはぶつからないようにノエルを避けた。

en	Maybe with two left feet and a few days late to the party, but alive, so alive, trying to process the blinding, beautiful, wild world she's broken her way into.

en	Akarsha twirls her, and Noelle gives up on suppressing the giddy smile on her face.

en	Be that way. Burger King.

en	That's not even the slogan.

en	They dance and dance, all stupid and struggling and happy.

en	But it's the circumstances that gave us you and me, right here, right now.

en	Kant wrote, "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made."

en	And how we long to be straight — Forgetting there's beauty in the crooked things, too.

en	Noelle seizes the front of Akarsha's shirt and yanks her forward, crushing their lips together.

en	Akarsha makes a small noise of surprise, then grins as she deepens the kiss, coaxing her lips open so her tongue can slide inside.

en	At the start of the night, she tasted like watermelon lip gloss, but that's long been kissed and smeared away into oblivion.

en	Noelle can't help but think, why bother? When will you learn?

en	I'll always kiss through every layer of crap you put between us until it's just you and me.

en	When they part, their breaths ragged, neither of them can come up with anything witty to say.
