One-Sentence Story: WTF

Four Hearts by Jim Dine

I just found out today that Rachel and Justin, you know, did it, and I can’t stop thinking about it, I mean, I’m actually kinda upset about it because, like, she just turned 13 and he’s even younger (he’s a seventh grader and hella short and I don’t get why she even wants to go with somebody like that), and they haven’t even been going together very long—let’s see, they went together for about a week but then she broke up with him because he cheated on her, and then about a week later she told him that she still liked him so they got back together, which means, I guess, they’ve only been together for about three weeks total—and you know what she said about it, she said, “It was a mistake, but I don’t regret it,” and what the f**k is that supposed to mean, I mean, if it was a mistake, why wouldn’t you regret it?
