He sees her standing there

Laughing

With her friends

She's so beautiful

Her dark hair swirling at her shoulders

She twirls it as she talks

He sighs

She would never talk to him

He could pretend that she liked him back

He could have fantasies about the two of them

How she would kiss his cheek

And he would do things he wasn't brave enough to do in real life

But in the end

It was pretend, these fantasies of her and him

Because bold, confident Alice Prewett could never love quiet bookworm Frank Longbottom

It just isn't done
