Why Can't I Have You To Myself

She sat with her legs crossed, looking eagerly at the board. But i wasn't focused on the board, all i could think of was her. Her black hair shone under the fluorescent lights, her brown skin was the colour of a caramel flavoured lolly and all i could do was think of her holding my hand and feeling the warmth of her brown, beautiful skin.

She was my type of girl but i was scared, the sort of scared you get when you have butterflies in your stomach. I knew i could never find the confidence to go up and talk to her because i was only average and she was well above.

The lesson seemed to go so quick as i gazed upon the new girl the entire time, not listening to anything the teacher had to say. With 5 minutes left in the first lesson the teacher made an announcement that i was so eager to hear. The teacher boomed, "I would like to introduce to you a new girl to our beautiful school that has just moved here from a small fishing village called Madridejos, in Southern Asia. Her name is Althea and she will be in our maths class for the remainder of the year."

Before we could say anything about the teachers announcement, the bell rang, signalling the end of the first lesson. But i had no chance at introducing myself to the new girl as there was a swarm of girls surrounding her already. So i collected my books and left the classroom, putting my earphones in, listening to my favourite songs that made me happy.

As i collected my books for the following lesson, i saw Katie with the girlst that were sniggering at me earlier. They were talking to Althea and they kept pointing out all the best looking boys in our grade. Unfortunately, she never pointed in my direction, so that just made me remember that i was one of those boys that was at school to make up the numbers. All i felt like doing was curling up into a ball right there, holding my legs tight against my chest and never letting go.

I took my books from my bag, but as i did i saw Althea look in my direction, smiling as her eyes caught mine. But it was only brief as Katie grabbed her by the arm and introduced her to the other new boy. All the girls were falling for him because he was some big famous footballer who was the captain of a football team. Big deal, but when i saw him take Althea's books and begin to walk her to class, my heart sank. She was blushing so much and couldn't stop playing with her hair as she gazed into his eyes. How unfair was this? The most beautiful girl comes to our school and all she goes for is the biggest dick in our grade.
