Flower On The Sidewalk

Passing notes

In class today you passed me a note, and I guess that since we sit right next to each other you handed it to me. I had to keep myself from smiling because I didn't want to seem like an idiot.

'You seem cool' was all it read. I smiled and wrote on the paper, then handed it to you. Our conversation went like this:

You seem cool

Thanks :) You seem really cool yourself

Thanks... Can I ask you something?

Sure

Why do people ignore you in the halls and call you freak? You seem really nice...

I am really nice. The people who bully me don't know me. I don't know why they call me freak. You hang out with them. Why don't you think I'm a freak?

Because I've seen you around town...

Oh...

(253) 348-9834

Is that your number?

Then the bell rung and you gave me a smile and left the room. I was grinning like a mad man the rest of the day.
