I'm glad we have Cupcake. She's not quite good at cuddling yet, though. She keeps squirming.
More practise, maybe?
[Ward: Private if you look close enough, you can see tearstains] Two new arrivals today.
Justin is here. It's nice to see him. He's always been nice. But he's twenty, and he and Hannah and Ernie are all the same age, of course, and so it's going to be the three of them, once again, and me just there as an afterthought.
Some girl named Alecto Carrow is here. Her future self, I guess, grows up to torture students, apparently during my last year. I'm glad my consciousness is here and not there, but bloody hell, I thought it was bad enough not being at school. And of course, there are people bonding over bad memories being brought up and since I don't remember it since it actually hasn't happened for me, there's something else I'm not a part of...
Jasper and Vogg are friends, apparently. Which is fine since it's good for Jas to have friends, but I feel like he's the only one who gets me, believe it or not, and now that he has Vogg and Lea's here, too...
I don't feel like I fit in anywhere. I know my family loves me and I'm glad to have them here but they have their own friends, and now all my friends have their own friends.
I'm always going to be an afterthought, on the back burner, aren't I? Always second best. Never good enough. [/Ward]
