I couldn't stop thinking about what Gretchen texted me. Does Oliver like me? Like as a girl-friend or a girlfriend? Because if we're being completely honest here, the idea of dating my best friend freaks me out! You aren't supposed to date friends, you're supposed to smack him upside the head when he checks out girls who you know aren't good for him, or force him to watch the bachelor with you or-
Oh my god.
Do we act like a couple?
Do I like my best friend?
Do I?
"No!" I yell out loud to force myself to stop thinking about it.
"Margaux no, you are not thinking about your best friend that way, he's your friend not your friend. I mean, it's not like you ever think about how green his eyes are, or how when he focuses his nose crinkles up, and he's really started

Oh my god Margaux get a grip he doesn't like you; he probably likes Cara Robins.
Stupid Cara Robins.
Stupid slutty Cara freaking Robins.
I grab the pizza and shove it in my mouth, immediately regretting it. "Holy frick that is so hot, oh my God," I shriek, spitting out the pizza into a napkin while my family looks at me in annoyance. Why are they annoyed I burnt myself? Oh right, this literally happens almost everyday.
"So anyway," I start saying, trying to take the focus off my super serious injury and the blistering pain in the roof of my mouth, "Dad, what's new at the office?"
"Not much. Linda from accounting's pregnant and I had a turkey sandwich for lunch," he says.
"Linda's pregnant again? What is this, her third kid since she's been there? It's like nineteen kids and counting," my mother remarks.
"It's her sixth kid, actually; they're hoping this time they'll get a girl," my father replies, grabbing a second slice.
"I wouldn't want as many children as her. Two is enough, right girls? Did you hear Olivia down the street is pregnant? Her poor mother, a seventeen year old pregnant. It's like if Harper had a baby right now!" My mother says,
It has been too long since I last wrote to you, so I thought I would inform you on momentous events that happened in my life in the last little while. The previous time I heard from you was when Gabriel turned three. I can’t believe he is about to become a teenager now. My goodness, time flies by so fast. I was so ecstatic when I saw your prior letter arrive in my mail.
Oh dear! I can't believe what I just did, it was so hilarious, I hope
I also don't own the idea, it was requested to me by the wonderful Amanda. Thank you so much! I hope I did this idea justice.

“You are becoming obsessed.” My best friend Emily stated from her place at the bar.
“I am sure they’ll join us in common area at the halfway point, that is, if my sister is feeling up to it.”
“You hit your head pretty hard. The doctor said you have a traumatic brain injury. He said you probably wouldn't remember the accident, or much else for that matter...” her voice trails off.

Charles Dickens novel, Oliver Twist, centers itself around the life of the young, orphan Oliver, but he is not a deeply developed character. He stays the same throughout the entire novel. He has a desire to be protected, he wants to be in a safe and secure environment, and he shows unconditional love and acceptance to the people around him. These are the only character traits that the reader knows of Oliver. He is an archetype of goodness and innocence. His innocence draws many people close to him. Each character is attracted to his innocence for different reasons, some to destroy it and others to build it. Their relationships with Oliver reveal nothing more about his personality. They reveal more about their own personalities. Therefore, Oliver is used not as the protagonist of the story, but as the anchor for the development of the other characters.
