Paper Cranes
Bill once told me that if you encounter a crane, it’s supposed to symbolize immortality and good fortune. He added afterwards that you’ll become rich after you see one because it brings that much good luck. After he told me that, I began to take the long way home from school so that I could pass by the sluggish creek, idling a bit so that I might catch a glimpse of a rare crane. I would sit on the muddy bank as I fidget with the tallest cattail plants, plucking them apart with my ragged fingernails. I would wait for thirty minutes or so, I don’t really know.

She continued, “I sat, leaning on the tree outside the main dining hall, and watched as he joked with his friends in the fresh morning sun.” “Alice, pretending to doodle as you legit stare at him every morning is downright creepy,” Renee piped up. “LET ME HAVE IT, OKAY?” I’m convinced Alice will never grow out of her teenage phase. Though, I can’t judge her much for wanting someone who doesn’t want her- or knows she wants them in the first place. I sto...
