the blued eyed boy
did not l i e

he met me at the same spot
                                            each day
at the same time

i asked him
w h y
he doesn't go
to the highschool

he said
            he is
                     h o m e s c h o o l e d

i had never met
someone who was
homeschooled before

it fascinated me

we did not talk
very much
         but    
that
                             was      
okay

i just liked
being with
h i m

i considered him
        my  f r i e n d

my only
real friend
in the new
town

         tyler
                    was
                               always

very
         nice
                   to
                         me

but we
were not
friends

"do you like me?"
troye asked me
one day

"i do"

"good. i like you too"
and then
                he grabbed my hand
                                  and simply held it

it was an
o d d
gesture

but i liked it
i liked holding
h i s  h a n d

each time he met me
      after school

           we held hands
                         as we walked to my home

i wanted to
i n t r o d u c e
him to
my mom

but he said
we couldn't do that

i asked why

he didn't answer

some days
he seemed a little
                                             o f f

i didn't know why
but it made me
c o n c e r n e d

i had never
                 cared about someone
this way
             b e f o r e

was it a good thing?

in chemistry
   today
          we did an experiment
   so i had to work with
                tyler

he giggles
           a lot
but
          he has a cute giggle

i spilt
        acid everywhere
               but he didn't yell
                                 at me

he just  g i g g l e d

but then

the strangest thing

h a p p e n e d

b l u e    e y e s     a p p e a r e d

he was sitting
   on the counter
near the sink

       he did not
       look happy

                               it  s c a r e d  me

"who is that?"

"tyler"

"is he your friend?"

"no"

he
       became
                       s i l e n t

"troye?"
i heard tyler speak
"did you say something?"

"oh, um"

         i
           was
    about
          to
   introduce
          troye
but
    when
i
    looked
back
     he
was
     g o n e

"nevermind"
