New Swoon

Picture this:

A New Moon movie trailer comes on the television. I instantly perk up because it is one that I have not seen before. I chide myself for being such a 14 year-old. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Lance watching me with a smirk.

Inner dialogue- "Be cool, Kira. Nonchalant."

Outer dialogue- "Oh... I guess that movie is coming out pretty soon. I'll probably get around to seeing it sometime."

Totally nailed it.

Later that evening, my defenses are down and I find myself saying, "I can't wait to see New Moon!"

Lance's smirk is back.

I just feel so unoriginal and cliche. Most of the time I think about the Twilight saga and can roll my eyes and make fun of myself for that silly phase I went through-- in which I read the books repeatedly. And then BAM! a new movie trailer comes out and I feel giddy again-- like my 9 year-old self at a New Kids On the Block concert.

Will I never grow up?
