Matt shows up every morning like clockwork. Just after sunrise, boots dusted with sand, hair ruffled from the wind and eyes still dreaming. His goggles hang around his neck, and he smells like sun-warmed leather and ocean salt, like the kind of guy who lives too close to the sky. He's been flying since he was young. Too young, probably.

He’s come to your town every season for the past couple of years, flying tourists in slow, looping circles over the sea. 

“Just for the summer”, he tells you every time you ask him how long he’s staying for. 

But Matt walks like he’s not in any rush to leave. Like the sky’s been waiting a long time to let him rest.

The old red biplane sits in the lot like it’s waiting for something magical to happen, patched up with love, stickers from places he’s flown to, and a little yellow flag that flutters even when there’s no breeze. 

You work the morning shift at the sleepy seaside diner down the road from the airfield, all creaky stools and checkered floors. Pouring coffee and pretending not to watch the door. Matt always takes the third seat from the end, facing the window like he’s waiting for something. Or someone. 

“Same as usual?” you ask, smiling as you already scribble it down. Scrambled eggs, burnt toast, a glass of apple juice.  He nods, a little shy, but his mouth quirks at the corners when you bring him the glass. He only ever stays long enough for a bite of the food, but some mornings, he leaves behind little things.

Stickers form fuel stations in towns you’ve never been to. Napkins with doodles. A postcard with nothing but a timestamp and a messy scrawl “thought of you today. The clouds looked like cotton candy.” 

There are paper planes folded from old flight charts, matchbox cars that roll perfectly straight, doodles of balloons carrying houses into the sky. Once, he left a candy bracelet with a note that read “emergency fuel for daydreamers.”

You keep them all in an old mint tin beneath the register when no one’s looking, like souvenirs from a trip you haven’t taken yet. 

You’ve never told him how you’ve always wanted to fly, not just in the air, but somewhere. Somewhere big. Somewhere small. Somewhere with him.

Every afternoon, his biplane hums above the diner roof, sunlight catching on the red wings like a wink. He always dips to one side before disappearing over the cliffs. Always. You wave even though he can’t see you. Or maybe he can.

And you wonder, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next time he walks through the door smelling like wind and sand and sky, maybe you’ll ask him to take you with him.

Just once.

Or maybe you’ll ask him to stay.

till next time!!!

OKAY! This is in my wheelhouse cause I kinda was in like this exact situation my junior year and I’ve been on a roll with advice lately so I’m here to help. I’m a credible source cause it worked out for me!

First off, idk how long ago the break up was at this point but im assuming a week to a month ago. Let her grieve the relationship, and then go to her. No matter how much you like him, or he likes you, girl code is real. Admit to her you have a thing for him, that you think he might have a think for you, talk to her.

I’ve been in positions where I’ve had sorta kinda relationships with people and after it ended friends swooped in and stole the guy. Looking back, I wouldn’t have been so mad if they had just told me they liked him!

Consult her, let her know where you stand, don’t ask for her permission, ask her opinion. Would it make your friendship die if you ever did something with this guy? What would she think if she were you?

And you’ll get one of three answers.

“Don’t care”

She does, maybe she doesn’t feel ready to see him move on, she might harbor a resentment towards you, she might not. 50/50 coin toss, personally I would steer clear of him.

“Go ahead”

She understands, she agrees, she won’t hold this against you, you didn’t do anything wrong. She’ll appreciate that you cared to ask! Go for him!!

“No”

It’s a simple response. The way you handle that is your decision. You can uphold the friendship with her and respect her wish, or say fuck it. I wouldn’t but if you want him that bad, throw caution to the wind.

No matter the response understand that he does have feelings for you. When it’s a gut instinct like this, it’s generally correct.

You won’t lose friends over this as long as you don’t treat their relationship as if it were a road block for you. If anyone says anything let them know you talked with her, you cleared the air. On top of that, you don’t know every persons previous relationships because the fact you’re newer. If people take issue with you, remind them of that fact. Chalk it up to ignorance, innocent and naïvety!

If you think it’d work with him, don’t worry that much.

I wish you endless luck

girls i need advice!! help!!!

so i’m completely new to the school i’m at, and everyone else has known each other for practically their whole lives. and i’m still trying to figure out who’s friends with who, who likes who, who hates who, etc..

ANYWAYS

there’s this guy that i have in english and i swear he’s the sweetest person ever. he doesn’t follow other girls (complete 180 from the last guy i was talking to ((how do you follow of models on the same account you follow your mother on?!)). he’s always includes me in a conversation if my friends start only talking to each other. when i panicked in class, he was the first person to notice it and immediately took the time to make sure that i was okay. every time he talks to my friend (who sits in front of me), he looks away from her and gives me the biggest cutest smile. he randomly turns back to smile at me, too. whenever i wave at him in the halls or at lunch, i can literally see his whole demeanor change when he smiles and waves back.

now here’s my dilemma:

he has this friend group (he’s a football player so it’s them, a couple of the track kids, and then cheerleaders) and i would always catch him walking the same girl to practice with that group. i kinda had a feeling that they were dating, and one of my friends confirmed it and i tried to shut off my feelings for him.

THEN this girl shows up to school looking completely gutted, and i hear from one of my friends that he’d broken up with her the night before and that at lunch (we have the same one every other day so i don’t get to sit with him all the time 🥲) she’d overheard him telling his friends that he liked some girl and had left this other girl for her, but she only caught him saying the last portion of her name. now she thought he was talking about her girlfriend, but both of our names end the same so i’m literally going insane?? and he hasn’t stopped treating me the same ever since.

if, by some miracle, this guy actually likes me then i have absolutely no clue what to do. like i said, all my friends have known each other for YEARS and i’ve just entered the picture. so i know that if i start dating this guy, it might look absolutely awful to them because that other girl is also kind of in my friend group (she’s a cheerleader so she’s super popular/well-known). she’s also just a total sweetheart and i’d die if i hurt her :(

sorry this is so long bahaha. i just need some clarity on this whole situation because i’m so close to ripping my entire head of hair out.

Every single day the voices in my head whisper to me that I should get a spine tattoo…they’re getting more convincing

Panties are overrated
