“So…” they talk over me.

There is a pause.

“And…” I am quieted by there voices again.

The conversation changes and my story is now irrelevant.

I walk on behind the two.They take up the whole sidewalk.No room for me.

I sit at our lunch table.No one else is here.

“Where did everyone go?”I ask someone.

“They are eating outside.Didn’t they tell you?”

No, they didn’t tell me.

“Ok partner up!” I look around and no one makes eye contact with me.No one looks at me and nods their head.No one turns to me.

I work alone.

“Last night was so much fun!”one person says.

“It totally was.”says another.

“Wait,what did y’all do last night?” I ask.

“ Nothing” they say.

Yeah,me too.

Like they always say.Three is a crowd.And I guess I’m the third.
