Thoughts in a High School Hallway
May 18, 2015
My stomach's turning.
Oh no, here he comes.
Should I look up or down?
Or down then up?
That's cute, right?
No, I should look up at him.
He's not looking at me.
Maybe he doesn't see me.
My palms are sweating.
I think he's avoiding me.
Why isn't he looking at--
Oh no, he's looking at me.
He's smiling.
Smile back!
Are we within talking range yet?
Does my hair look okay?
"Hi," he says.
He sounds so good.
How does he do that?
Answer him!
"Hi," I say.
