13-year-old Violet is more conflicted about her feelings than ever.

Lo
and when seeing other couples, she
gets a bit jealous, yet doesn’t want to relate
to them. Could she go as far as to date
someone she doesn’t like? What even is
she?

“You just haven’t found the right person yet.”
Shut up, voice in my head.
Yet I could not stop thinking about it.
As a fellow romantic myself, I felt I wanted to find someone too. But at the
same time, I didn’t.
No matter how hard I tried to push myself to love, it was hard. I never got
feelings towards anyone, boys or girls. Nobody, really. But internally, I did
want a significant other. I wanted someone to love, and them to love me too.
So, why couldn’t I feel anything?
You could say I’m pretty much the living embodiment of “People
Watching” by Conan Gray.
Someday I’ll be falling without caution.
But for now, I’m only people watching.

“So, any girls yet?”

We sat down on the bench.
Vira scoffed. “I wish. I’ve always loved keys, and going to that centre was a
great decision, but... I haven’t found anyone interesting.”
Vira Sidpul was my friend. A good one at that. I knew a lot about her. Such
as, she gets good grades, she plays keyboard, and she’s secretly a fan of
Olivia Rodrigo. Also, she’s gay. Vira, not Olivia Rodrigo.
Okay, that sounded weird. Vira is constantly questioning what she is. She is
currently in the middle of an am-I-pansexual-or-lesbian crisis. She’s always
liked girls way more than boys, but she’s not sure what she is exactly.
Me, Vira, and our friend Sapphire have created a “gay club”. Even though
I’m still questioning, I’m still accepted as part of it. Vira’s sapphic, so her
too. Sapphire is genderfluid. Yes, his name sounds feminine, but he hasn’t
really figured it out yet. He’s still trying to find a name.
