LAYLA
I walk
ever so slowly
into the twisted labyrinths
of the school.
I am jostled between the jocks
shoved through the brats
that are just rats.
Throughout
all of this
somehow I am still able
to glance towards
Victoria's locker hoping
to catch a glimpse of her.
But she must have already gone
to her first class
because she was gone.
"Layla!" A familiar voice
called out and
suddenly a whirlwind
of colors envelope me
in a hug.
"Layla! It's been
so boring without you!"
Claudia exclaimed,
her smile as vibrant
as the sun.
"It's only been two days,"
I said
but I was smiling
into her shoulder.
But all the while
I was reminding myself
that we were just friends.
Just.
Friends.
