a lot of people have been making jokes recently about all the school days i've missed. i laugh it off and save the tears till i go home, but i noticed you laughed at it too. "and the most absent award goes to,"
"definitely her," one boy pointed from the front all the way to the back, his finger landing right on me. my name of course was shouted out over the wrecked speakers and everyone laughed as i made my way to the stage to grab the, "most absent award" certificate; signed off messily by the school principle.
my laugh faded in with everyone else's, especially yours.
i wanted to ask you why you thought it was funny, but before i could you left. now i'm left wondering why i can feel myself giving my heart to someone like you, a complete and utter asshole.
