Ann Liang "I Hope This Doesn't Find You"

…I can't stop thinking about him.
It's mortifying. Unproductive. Unnatural. And quite frankly, it's really enraging. He has no right to occupy this much space inside my head. Yet after I go home with Max and lock myself in my bedroom with every intention of completing my history homework ahead of time, I end up staring at my wall for eleven minutes.
"Stop it," I hiss at myself, rubbing my face. "Get a grip."
My brain has always been disciplined. Good at compartmentalising feelings, separating necessary information from garbage, labeling the good and the terrible. Julius absolutely goes into the Terrible folder.
