All the girls like him

He's new and has hypnotizing green eyes

Soon I find myself attracted to him too

But why?

They giggle and twirl their hair when he speaks, and I am left doing the same

What is it about this boy?

I do not understand why they fawn over him so.

Sure, he has a pretty face

but that's it.

He's nothing special, yet I still want him.

I follow suit --

I giggle and stare, taking in as much of him as possible.

I am a mindless sheep who follows the crowd

How shameful!

But I'm only seventeen

So does that make it okay?

I want to be different -- removed from the "other girls"

I do not want to giggle and whisper

I do not desire sameness

I think myself unique

((I am not))

But I cannot help melting when he looks at me

My body acts against my mind's will

He is a virus 

And my immune system is down

And so, I giggle

They giggle

High-pitched laughter fills the room

Giggles everywhere

All caused by a pair of green eyes
