So here I am
Talking to one of my friends
She wishes she were taller
Thinks people will take her more seriously
Not sure if she knows how hard it is for a girl to be tall
Japan idealizes everything small and cute
So I tell her she shouldn't be wishing she were taller
"Being short is better because you look cuter that way"
"I don't know", a familiar deep voice says
We turn to face it
It's that nice American boy walking towards us
"Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear. As I was saying, I might be in the minority on this, but I like tall girls. Maybe it's because everything's bigger in America, or maybe it's because I don't want to accidentally crush my girlfriend."
He
He likes tall girls?
Does that mean...
Could he like... me?
"Besides, I think you're pretty cute."
I bury my face in my hands to hide my blush
It probably doesn't work, since I feel like I'm bright as a neon sign
Start making noises involuntarily
Does he have the SLIGHTEST idea what he does to me?
"I think you broke her", my friend says
