The Crush

Here I sit
Pencil in hand
Writing feverishly
Surreptitiously watching him

Will he glance at me today?
Will we make eye contact?
Does he know I am here?

Oh no! He looked at me!
He caught me looking at him!
He must think I am a dork!

The bell!
Thank God the Bell has rung!
Class is over!

Okay walk toward the door.
Head down, dont look up.
Shit! There go my books.
Now I have to bend over to pick them up!

"Here let me help you."
I look up.
Shit it is him!
What do I do?!

Be coy,
No, I dont do coy

Be sexy
No, I dont know how to be sexy

Be cool,
No, I prefer being a dork.

Be myself
Now that I can do!

"Thank you for your help."
I smile, he smiles back.
"I'm a total klutz!"
He says, "Me too."
He laughs and I laugh too.
