Lorde Basically Wrote The Next Big YA Book -- Kind Of

Give her all your money, publishing.

Someone call John Green -- or, you know, the thousands and millions of other amazing YA authors out there -- because Lorde just wrote an Instagram caption that could basically be a next hit novel. I'm calling it "Starry Eyes For Playground Boys" -- and dubbing it a New York Times bestseller right now.

"Every boy was in love with her and every girl wanted to be her, and she was MY best friend," Lorde wrote in the caption of an appropriately wistful-looking Instagram she shared today in honor of her pal "Moose"'s (SUCH a YA nickname) birthday. That is basically the opening line to your new favorite non-existent novel, which sees two pals sharing a pair of broken headphones on the bus, eating fruits and whatnot that they pluck from trees, thrifting in dusty second-hand stores, dumpster-diving and attending school discos, which are like dances but, we imagine, much more glamorous. And, yes, I'm basically paraphrasing Lorde's post here.

"We were endlessly creative, we searched, we DREAMT," Lorde wrote, which we imagine to be the end of the novel, when the two go their separate ways -- one to college to become a botanist, one towards her dreams of musical stardom. And, yes, I'm making that up -- as I don't know "Moose" and wouldn't presume to know anything about her predilections (or lack thereof) toward plantlife.

laughing as i post this. this is my best friend and i at a school disco way back in the day (5+ years ago) and i'm sharing it with the world to celebrate her turning nineteen today! words can hardly describe what we've shared. in her, i gained a sister, a best friend, and a truly hilarious customer who was joined to my hip as we felt our first starry eyes for playground boys, went to our first parties, went on endless bus rides searching for some free fun.. every boy was in love with her and every girl wanted to be her, and she was MY best friend. we shared a pair of broken headphones and discovered our own tastes in music, went for walks eating lunch from trees, sifted through dusty fabric stores hunting for bargains, diy-ed our clothes, searched the inorganics (trash outside people's houses) for shoes, bags and other 'treasures', and so much more. we were endlessly creative, we searched, we DREAMT. i'll always be thankful for this smart, beautiful lady. was so nice to celebrate with you tonight. (remember we thought this was the coolest picture........lol). love you for days and days moose.
