"Oh come off it Lila," she said to herself "you know exactly what's got you down."
She sighed and closed the door to her locker only to be greeted with the smiling face of the one and only Brainy. He smiled brightly at her flashing his bright white smile at her.
"Hey Lila, you're in my English class right?" he asked casually
"Yeah I am, I was just getting my book." she said not being able to fight the smile on her face. With him it was infectious.
"Oh good," he said "Well I'll see you in there I just got to help Helga with something real quick. Save me a spot next to you?"
"Oh yeah," she said slightly put off by the mentioning of Helga. BUt Brainy didn't seem to notice as he gave her a quick hug and a thanks before rushing off to find Helga.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about,
And she's got everything that I have to live without.
Drew talks to me, I laugh 'cause it's just so funny And I can't even see anyone when he's with me He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
She sat down in one of the old desks and wordlessly put her backpack in the one next to her. She took out her book and started to draw in it. She made swirls and loops that eventually turned into large hearts with cracks in the middle. She was just about to put her initials mixed with his own when he walked in the door. Boy oh boy did he look nice today. He smiled that perfect smile at her as she motioned him over, taking her backpack away to make room for his body. She tried to smile back but failed as her mind wandered to what he might have been doing with Helga just a few moments ago. She continued to hum the words of the song under her breath as the class started.
Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be She better hold him tight, give him all her love Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky 'cause
He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
When the bell sounded she got up wordlessly and took off before BRainy had the chance to speak to her. She got in her car and turned on the radio just in time to catch the last half of the very song she had been singing. She sang along thinking about him yet again. She thought about the picture of them together that Helga had taken while they were on a trip a long time ago. She stared at that picture as she drifted off to sleep at night. hoping that her dreams of them being together would come true. By ten o' clock Lila was sound asleep. She tossed and she turned until she got comfortable and as her vision clouded with dreams of Helga and Brainy happily together a lone tear streaked down her face.
So I drive home alone.
As I turn out the light I'll put his picture down And maybe get some sleep tonight.
'Cause he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do He's the time taken up, but there's never enough And he's all that I need to fall into.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.
