there was a girl
next to me in the class
she had a notebook opened
but barely did she touch it
all on a sudden
a boy asked a comical question
the whole class laughed
but she didn't
she seemed upset
she seemed eerily quiet
but somehow it was nice-
sitting beside her, she didn't judge
that day my friends didn't come
i was alone just like her
two introverts sitting on the same bench
too scared to take a glance
unspoken words
as silence follows afterwards
coming back home, i thought-
she was just another girl in the class.
