sour cherry #5 + pocky

sour cherry 5. feather in my cap + pocky
story: second chances ; jigsaw (levee college era). wordcount: 100. rating: pg

notes: Actual pocky today! Levee's POV, junior or senior year of college.



When I get the e-mail, I bounce up and down in my chair, read it twice, and text Rosie: PenWorks magazine is printing my story!!

I find Tony in the kitchen next, and wait impatiently for him to get off the phone. He hugs me when I tell him.

"That's so cool! I'm so happy for you!"

"Who were you talking to?" I ask.

"Oh, um…this music blog saw my video! I guess they want to do an interview?"

"That's amazing!" I say. And it is, but I can't hush the voice that says Fuck, yours is better.




So Tony recorded a song and made a music video with a friend that went ~viral. But anyway, I feel like this is a nutshell-take on half of Levee's relationship issues :P Also I made up the name of the lit mag but haven't googled it to see if it exists yet…

Poor Leevee. It sucks when someone steals your thunder, even if it's unintentional.

It's so cool for them both to have good things happen, but ouch to the comparisons.

That's super exciting and :( on Levee's relationship issues. Too bad that it didn't happen at different times so they could each be happy for each other for a bit.

Aww, poor Levee :( I would have said they were both great. It almost sounded like Tony was reluctant to tell her there, like he knew how she would feel. Yay for pocky :)

I think everyone must feel like this a LITTLE, even though personally it's easy for me to get over if it's someone I like ;) Thanks for all the comments!
