There was this boy with green eyes I sat next too in my chemistry class. He was my Chem partner, and he was so good at chemistry. He had the greenest eyes I've ever seen in my life, and the softest brown hair. His voice was so deep I could listen to him drone on about chemical reactions all day. I could watch his green eyes study chemicals all day long as well.
Now, I'm watching him stare at my empty seat in Chem class. He's hoping I'll walk right in the door and sit next to him while asking what the agenda for the day is, the same question I ask everyday. He's hoping he'll get to see me smile at him one more time. I watch him jot down some notes, even though he's blatantly ignoring the teacher. I get closer to see what he's wrote, the one simple sentence scrawled on the paper surprised me however.
"Science will never be the same without you by my side"
Things between he and I have always been platonic, he knew I had a teensy tiny little crush on him and I knew he didn't reciprocate. We were still pretty good friends and even better Chem buddies though. We hung out outside of school sometimes, but he was so busy with his science experiments that hanging out with him was rare.
He was always so busy with his passion that he didn't have a chance to get to know me. I thought because he didn't really know me, why would he miss me? I thought he wouldn't miss me, wouldn't miss a girl he barely knew. Wouldn't miss some random girl who sat besides him in chem class and asked the same thing everytime she walked in the door. Holy hell was I wrong though.
I wish I could sit besides him and stare at his chiseled features and his deep voice drone on and on about some chemicals I couldn't care less about but actually do care about because he cares about them.
I miss my Chem buddy who I thought would never miss me back.
