Another Cardboard Figure

7/14

I was having lunch with Pammy and told her about my weekend at Ego. Retelling the story was actually almost fun, it seems like such a fantastic dream that it's odd to consider it as something that really happened.

And then, for no reason whatsoever, Pammy was upset with me. She told me that Elise and her friends were dangerous freaks that really despise me. She scolded me for not blaming Elise for what her friend did. "You are living in a fantasy!" she shouts. She felt that I needed to get out now, before something worse happened.

I just stared at her blankly and chewed on a bite of my sandwich. This, I had no prepared response for and I was just speechless.

As I looked at her, I thought to myself...even when Elise's face was bubbling, she was infinitely more beautiful than Pammy. Right there, I was starting to see clearly. I had traded my cardboard cut-out guy friends for a cardboard girl. Holy shit. I was living a fantasy. It was Pammy. She suddenly shows up in my life one day. I stop hanging out with my friends to be with her and now she has openly attacked my personal life.
