Robin
do you ever just feel invisible?
Robin
like no one can see you
Robin
especially to the person you want to see you the most
Robin
you’d know if you did
Toni
who do you want to notice you?
Robin
i see her around campus all the time
Robin
but she never sees me
Toni
like, she doesn’t pay attention to you?
Robin
it’s like she doesn’t SEE me
Robin
like nothing is there
Robin
even when i walk past her
Robin
it’s like she doesn’t see anyone
Robin
i don’t think it’s that
Toni
what could it be then?
Robin
that’s why i’m so upset
Toni
why don’t you try talking to her?
Robin
what if she hates me
Toni
how could she hate you
Robin
i could say the wrong thing
Robin
like something embarrassing
Robin
i could ask her something too personal
Toni
then just keep it light
Robin
small talk you mean?
Toni
say something about the weather
Toni
or like, how nice the campus is today
Robin
should i tell her i see her all the time?
Toni
that might be creepy
Toni
yeah but you said she doesn’t see you
Toni
so it sounds a little stalkerish
Robin
ok, i saw her again
Robin
she was walking from the library when i was going in
Robin
i said, is it crowded?
Robin
she looked like i threatened to kill her
Robin
like her eyes got so wide
Robin
it was the weirdest thing ever
Robin
i couldn’t believe it
Toni
that’s so freakin strange
Robin
i told her i was sorry
Robin
but she just kept going
Toni
i TOLD you to keep it light
Robin
i literally just asked if the library was crowded
Toni
maybe she’s just a little
Toni
i mean, you talked and she ran
Toni
lol what more do you want
Robin
i just want to know what i said wrong
Toni
you didn’t say anything wrong
Robin
yeah but she looked terrified
Toni
so maybe you should just stay away from her?
Robin
that’s probably for the best
Robin
i didn’t do what we said
Robin
i spoke to her again
Robin
i saw her on the quad
Robin
so i just went over
Robin
she just moved away
Toni
but you talked to her?
Robin
i introduced myself
Robin
and apologized for before
Robin
you know what she asked?
Robin
“how can you see me?”
Robin
i didn’t even know what to say
Toni
how do you respond to that?!
Toni
i told you she’s wacko
Robin
i don’t know if she is though
Robin
remember what i was saying, about feeling invisible
Robin
maybe she feels that way too
Toni
so much that she thinks people can’t see her?
Robin
she could have social anxiety or something
Robin
it was probably shocking for me to just approach her like that
Toni
maybe you should just leave it alone
Robin
anyway, i’m gonna go to the library
Robin
i have some studying to do
Robin
i don’t know how to explain this
Robin
i feel like i’m totally crazy
Robin
so i was in the library
Robin
and i was in the travis wing
Toni
where all those creepy old guy paintings are?
Robin
but there are photos too
Robin
of past students and stuff
Robin
i was just looking around at them, procrastinating on my paper
Robin
and you WILL NOT believe what i saw
Robin
the one i’ve been telling you about
Toni
what’s so weird about that
Robin
the date on the photo
Robin
it was from 1938 Toni
Toni
as in a million years ago 1948?!
Robin
it was one of those old timey black and white ones
Toni
ok, maybe it’s just someone who looks like her
Toni
like, her mom or something
Robin
like straight up her
Toni
you’ve got to be kidding…
Toni
so what, you’re saying she’s a ghost?
Robin
it would make sense
Robin
it would explain her weird reaction when i spoke to her
Robin
“how can you see me?”
Robin
it’s obviously never happened before
Toni
so suppose she is a ghost
Toni
and nobody has seen her
Toni
how come you saw her?
Toni
just stop messing around with this
Robin
i want to do some research
Robin
on ghosts sightings
Robin
i want to know why i was able to see her too
Toni
this is weirder and weirder by the second
Robin
don’t worry about me
Toni
what, like that tv show?
Robin
yeah, except in real life
Toni
this is unbelievable
Robin
that’s how i could see her
Robin
there’s something she’s needs that she hasn’t gotten
Robin
that’s why she’s still roaming around
Toni
what, she needs to finish her degree?
Robin
once she gets it, she can go into the spirit world
Robin
that’s what mediums do
Toni
what are you going to do?
Toni
are you going to help her?
