Simone's Pov
So today is Friday. I am super tired, and I have worked hard on this poetry project. I finally have my poems finished. I can't wait to read one of them in class.
Josh still hasn't really got out of his shell. He is still being bullied a lot. I've tried to say certain things, but he always shuts me down. I guess he doesn't want me to feel sorry for him, but I see the stuff he goes through everyday.
I walked into Creative Writing and sat down. I got my stuff out so that I could be ready. Josh came in pretty early today. So I get to talk to him before all the rude people come to class.
"Hey, How do you think you did on your poems?" I asked him.
"I think I did alright. What about you?" He said looking up at me.
"I feel good about them." I said to him.
"Okay." He said.
A bunch of other kids started to come in the classroom. Tayla got switched to our class she couldn't stand her other creative writing class. Unfortunately she had to take the seat beside Mina which of course she didn't want to do, but she had no choice.
"Okay class today is showcase day and we all know what happens on showcase day. All of you alls beautiful work is displayed."said Ms. Cash
Poem after poem it began to get tiring hearing about all of these love poems. Everyone had went in the class except for Josh and myself.
"Ahh Miss Roberts it's your turn." Said Ms. Cash
If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
To the sound of your breath on my neck,
The warmth of your lips on my cheek,
The touch of your fingers on my skin,
And the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
With anyone other than you.

"That's was amazing. I could really feel the love. Well it seems that's everybody."Said Ms. Cash
"Wait,wait,wait Ms.Cash. Josh didn't read his poem." Stated Mina
"Hmm I seemed to have overlooked you. I don't know how I did." Said Ms. Cash
"I do, it's easy to overlook him." Said Mina which some of kids in class giggle like they were idiots. I saw Josh shrink in his seat.
"Shut up Mina."I said.
"Excuse me." She said with a look of disgust.
"Girls settle down.Josh can you read your poem so we can get in with our lives?" Asked Ms. Cash
I found her to be rude at unnecessary times.
Never Have I Fallen
Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest
I think of you each morning
And I dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And I cannot express my delight
Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never been given away

"Wow that was wow. I've never heard something so bad, horrible, atrocious, drecatude." Said Ms. Cash making all the kids except Tayla and I laugh extremely hard.
"Ms. Cash, now you know that was wrong. That was a beautiful poem. It showcased love and our emotions." I said to her.
"Well you have your opinion about trash and I have mine." She said causing me to gasp.
