The "Other Girl"
Mr. Benson’s class gets a little crazy sometimes.
Like today, for instance.
We’re all supposed to be working on our projects,
But instead we’re talking to our friends,
Ignoring the fact that our projects are due in 3 days.
I’m talking to Nathan, laughing at the stories he’s telling,
Trying to not melt in the middle of class
Because his knee is touching mine
And he doesn’t even notice the look Caitlin is giving us.
I can tell that she’s jealous,
And I can feel my chest swelling with pride.
I could just kiss someone right now,
But the nearest person is Nathan,
And we all know how that would turn out.
