my name isn't even lily like i say i just really like that name. it's my sister's. she isn't using it anymore
and my name is stupid. and you know what it is. i told you it was lily later on. if you can remember
me before i started lying then you'll know.
i am not going to tell you.
i am testing you.
please study hard for this.
-----------
guess what
your school grades are total crap, but you somehow managed to pass my test. you caught me.
when i came up to your desk today and told you lies you didn't believe me. you said, ―lily, wasn't it
just your birthday there are only so many you can have in a year, you know‖
obviously it was really awkward. i'm sorry for flipping out like that. at least i didn't wet myself. i am
going to do that in front of you one day if you let me be with you.
i won't ask for more than fifteen minutes a day, and i will clean my own pee if i get nervous.
i will also learn about capitalization and proper grammar. because apparently you are one of those
mean people who will tell you when your their should be there or even they're. so i want to do
things like you want me to.
after all, you passed my test. i knew you were perfect and i want to be perfect too.
-----------
i did tell you a couple of truths you know.
i still want to know if you can find them.
and if you ever read this, i want to know which parts you think are lies.
it's pretty easy if you think about it.
i do wet myself. all the time. and writing the right way scares me so bad i hyperventilate.
