too much alike: part one

"Um hi..." omg she's probably looking at my acne scars or looking at my dull features. I mean last year Sasha told me my eyes are too close together and I might have FAS. What even is FAS? It sounds like someone with an Igor (from frankenstein) accent forgot the "t" at the end of Fast. Ughh he was always so creepy but I wish I could say massssstirrrrrr the way he did.....

 "Hi omg you're Spencer right?"

"Yeah and you're Lauren?" why am i asking such dumb questions. she looks so pretty and so nice. I bet everyone is wondering why we are together. I bet all my friends would never believe I could actually be across from someone alone other than my computer or my dad. you know what'd be scary sitting across from yourself. Man that would be so freaking terrible I don't even wanna imagine  it. Okay Carly said if I look at her eyebrows it will be okay..but I'm sweating and I really don't understand why I deserve this...I am not good enough. I suck. I am anxious. I feel tired. And I know, I know...that I'm gonna have such a hard time being myself.

a smile creeps across my face just in time. it will be alright. it may be painful. I may try to use like 20 different voices. I may try to be into what she's into just because she is so awesome, and brilliant, and beautiful, and kind, and knowing, and interesting, and bold, and funny. And the weird thing is I didn't notice her eyes first I noticed her teeth, her mouth, which I can only stare at for a bit longer before she asks me why I'm not engaging in eye contact.

The girl turns her head, looks at her phone, swipes on her sunglasses, and says "So, I forgot to tell you I can't read minds so you're gonna have to let me in your head"

Spencer realizes this is what a real friend would say and lets her guard down. 

to be continued.

hope you enjoyed this,
