she walked into the room
with her dark hair
and her combat
boots. the
five of us stared
at her, unable to
hide our curiosity.
when she glanced my
way and her eyes met
mine, i knew that this
girl wasn't like the
rest of us. she shot
me a wink
and the air around me
suddenly felt warmer
than it had moments
before. and when she
took the gum from her
mouth and propped her feet
up on the white desks,
sticking the gum under
her chair,
i knew she didn't have
a care in the world.
