Senior
There's me.
Walking down the hallway like normal.
All alone with no one around.
Great.
There you are.
Standing with your fellow football buddy.
Your a senior.
I'm a freshman.
You shouldn't even notice me.
I walk past you but something makes me look into your eyes.
Our eyes meet.
We just stare at each other.
I can't look away.
We stand there looking at each other for at least a whole minute.
It felt like forever.
But I grew the power to make myself look down and continue walking.
Once I passed you I had to grab onto the bar for support.
Butterflies were invading my stomach and I couldn't breathe.
What was that?
You tell me.
