I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday.Thatโs me. Always in control. Or so they think. The truth is that itโs easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide. In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice. ๐๐ฆ โ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ค๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐๐ฆ โ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ โ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ก. For me, life is a web of secrets.
