"Okay class" said Ms. Gleason "I read and noted all of your poems, you guys did a great job."
Everyone looked at each other smiling. You could hear 'yes' from every part of the room. Oliver, Kaz and Skylar high-fived each other.
"One poem stood out the most and I would like for this student to read it out loud. Connie, come up here please." invited Ms. Gleason.
Skylar's face fell. Will she really have to read it out loud? She slowly stood up and made her way to the front of the class unsure.
"Let's go Connie! Woo-hoo!" she heard Kaz yell which made her smile a bit.
She took a deep breath taking her poem from the hands of Ms. Gleason and started reading.
I never knew what love was
Never had good examples to show me
I thought it was just an invention
Or another word for friendship
I realized the power of attraction
But everything more seemed delirious
Falling in love seemed stupid
There's nothing you can't get up from
I promised myself I'd never use that word
Because I would never feel it
She took another deep breath and looked up, meeting her friends stares briefly.
And then you entered my life
Without further notice
The attraction was strong
Then again you're really handsome
But you were always too brave
Always making self-sacrifices
Risking everything for others
Loyalty being your greatest feature
Her eyes watered a little as she continued not wanting to look at her friends this time.
I was mad at you
How dare you made me feel that way?
I've always been independent
And never needed anyone
But the fall began quickly
And I had no grip to restrain it
She sighed before getting the courage to pursue.
I know this fall ends up with a hard ground.
It's going to hurt, there will be blood
Will I ever be able to get back up?
But I guess the thrill is worth it
No matter how horrible the outcome
She didn't look up right away. The classroom was so deadly silent. Then they started clapping and Ms. Gleason thanked her. She made her way back to her seat noticing the confused faces of Kaz and Oliver. Boy, was she gonna hear about that!
What do you think?
It's just a little sneak-peak from a potential story as I'm still working on sore throat.
Do you think I should continue it?
Please review!
P.S. Forever and eternal, I haven't forgotten about the extra of Travelling Twirl, I'm just taking a break to get more inspiration for it!
