Stuck

There are looks, looks that people give when they know something and don't

want to tell you right out, so they start talking in hypotheticals that result in further hypotheticals that result in a dance around the issue. You never have the guts to actually ask, "what are you getting at," because you already know. Know that there's no possible way for any of what the two of you are talking about to happen. And you just sit there and stare and pretend like you're rolling with it. Make some quick jokes or add something to the conversation's subject by proxy, but really, you just have no idea how to react or what to say. Because you just know. You know that it’s not going to work, and in a few months you'll still be here; and someone will still be calling you "the temp."
