English Danish Actions
I have feelings for you.
 
She whispers it, as an experiment, so that it's impossible to hear over the roar of the crowd and the music.
 
But it feels like a small, daring victory, like the first step on the moon.
 
Like a butterfly breaking out of its chrysalis all soft, naive, and crinkled.
 
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.
 
...What'd you say?
 
Akarsha twirls her, and Noelle gives up on suppressing the giddy smile on her face.
 
Nothing. Maybe I'll tell you later.
 
Be that way. Burger King.
 
That's not even the slogan.
 
They dance and dance, all stupid and struggling and happy.
 
There's so much pain and misery in this school.
 
It's twisted us all into strange and flawed shapes, like butterflies born in a fool's spring.
 
But it's the circumstances that gave us you and me, right here, right now.
 
Kant wrote, "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made."
 
And how we long to be straight — Forgetting there's beauty in the crooked things, too.
 
We'll never live the lives our parents wanted us to lead.
 
And that's okay.
 
Because we'll forge something brave and new instead.
 
It won't be the same.
 
But it'll be ours.
 
And I won't ever let that go.
 
The future
 
Well? Were they open?
 
What do you think? It's 1 in the morning.
 
Of course Home Depot wasn't open.
 
There's gotta be somewhere else you can buy bolt cutters.
 
At this hour? I'm not optimistic.
 
Guess I'll die then?? How else are we gonna get them off?
 
I'm afraid we need to go to the fire station for help.
 
Stop laughing, this isn't funny!
