him her

he

he was walking the halls,

claiming he needed to use the restroom,

when,

in reality,

he needed a break.

he despised being who he was,

the expectations,

the looks,

the whole 'I look up to you' stuff.

he wanted to be himself

he wanted to be like the girl he saw,

across the halls,

alone,

but not bothered.

never expected of, never expecting from.

no one knew her name, but he knew he'd find out one day.

Xavier.

that was his name.

and that's who he wanted to be.
