ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY MEL EVANS

• You often scroll through their
  feed to catch up on everything
  that’s been posted or they’ve
  been tagged in.


• You habitually Like all their
  posts, even if you don’t actually
  like the post itself.


• Iftheyhaveanewboyfriend,
  or are tagged in a new friend’s
  photo, you click into their profile
  to get the intel on this intruder
  person in their life.


• You expect they’ll like all your
  posts. If they don’t? To say you’re
  offended is an understatement.


• You wonder if it would be weird
  toposta#TBTpostwiththemin
  it. You decide to do it anyway.


• When Facebook reminds you
  of‘thistimeXyearsago’itsends
  you down a stalking rabbithole
  you emerge from two hours later.


• You know the set-up of their
  apartment, even if you haven’t
  been there. Nothing suss...


• You can’t remember the last
  time you spoke IRL, but you do
  know their dog just got de-sexed.


• You miss them and often think
  of the past. Less in a nostalgic
  way,moreinanI-wish-we-could-
  go-back way.


• If you ran into them IRL, odds
  are there’d be crickets for convo.

were in high school!
