'Oh that, emo looks a bonus. As if you didn't care about what you wear.'

'That way I don't care, I like that. Even if I look away, i'm attracted.' - s o n g: bad boy - red velvet

Loralei thought about if walking to school alone was a good or bad thing. It was mindnumbingly boring but wasn't full of distractions.

"Loralei! Wait!" a voice hollered from across the street. It was Suki. Loralei slowed her pace to let the pink-haired girl catch up. "Geez Loralei, why do you walk so fast?" said Suki panting. "So I can actually get to school on time, unlike you." said Loralei. "That seems reasona- wait- HEY! That's rude.. Just because you're in the student council doesn't mean you can pick on me y'know!" Suki whined, "Plus you're only vice president, so you're not THAT important." "K." "Hey! Don't just 'K' me. You suck." (YEAH LUCY.) Despite Loralei's attempts to not care about Suki's company, she couldn't help but smile at her liveliness. After all, they are best friends.

The walk to school was uneventful (or eventful according to Suki.). Suki and Loralei took pictures of birds and a squirrel that Suki named Lucy. Loralei got distracted by a convenience store and practically begged Suki to let her go ( "You're such a kid sometimes!" Suki whined "That's a bit rich from you!" ) While Loralei was frolicking around in the sweets section she suddenly heard- "SHIT!" Loralei turned around to find Suki panicking. " SCHOOLS IN TEN MINUTES YOU- YOU- YOU LIVER BISCUIT!" Suki hurriedly grabbed Loralei's hand and sprinted out of the store. They ran along the side of the road until they got to the entrance. They quickly dashed around and into the classroom and plopped down in their seats. Thank goodness, Thought Loralei, I totally thought I was toast. 

" Hi students! It's lovely to see you all! 10th grade isn't easy but it's worth it!" exclaims Mr Johanson. " Good morning Mr Johanson." mumbled the class. "Today we will be assessing poems! A topic that a lot of poets need to master is one of the most complex feelings in the known universe. Love. Any type of love too! Unconditional, romantic, sexual, etc. So to help you try and understand this your assignment is to write a 100 worded poem about a forbidden love, two hearts yearning to be one but are separated by a barrier. The barrier can be anything, racism, gender, mixed feelings, other lovers, drugs, family, etc. It's really up to you. So write away!" 

Loralei's mind blanked. She seriously contemplated shoving her headphones on her head so she could listen to kpop and not worry about anything. But she saw the teacher eyeing her so she just wrote whatever shit just jumped in her head. In the midst of her scrambling down some random, corny, symbolistic lines, she noticed something. Her tongue tasted sour.

Fuck.

You unlocked a special poem!

What does love look like? I used to picture a boy and a girl sitting next to each other, shuffling awkwardly under the moonlight. A young couple shyly exchanging glances across a park. Fireworks illuminating a pair as they share their first kiss. I waited for my chance. Hopelessly hoping that it would come to me. But it felt like I was drowning, gasping for air I would never get.    Until I saw you. Your hair, your humor, your eyes. I think you loved me. I wanted to love you. I truly did, but it's hard to wake up and face that I wouldn't be able to wake you up everyday, kiss you good morning. After all, this wasn't some sort of cinderella love. I never thought you would be so out of reach. Self love is hard. How can you love anyone else if you hate yourself?
