I sit in the comfort of the corner of a crooked staircase.
My neck aches from staring at my lap; an attempt to avoid eye contact.
I contemplate inviting you to the party or not.
Before I know it, you arrive and we try to define "fake fun."

I define "fake fun" as:

1. Sitting outside while the party is going on inside.
2. Sitting outside while the party is going on inside and debating leaving early to go home.
3. Sitting outside while the party is going on inside, debating leaving early to go home, and stealing glances across the driveway at the person you really want to be at the party with.
