though both in separate buildings.
she wasn't up to class today,
claiming to the nurse she wasn't feeling well,
and needed a walk around campus.
she was let off,
for no one cared where she was
he was still just walking around,
sticking to the lockers to be in the shadows.
he wanted to be like that.
he wanted the shadows to be his place,
where he could hide, and not feel obligated to do the right thing,
just for a silly reputation.
both were just tired.
he was tired of expectations,
and she was just tired of not being accepted.
