His Eyes

I know. I disgust myself as well.

How could I be so . . . weak? There is no other way to describe my current situation. It's true. How else could I be so distracted by a pair of eyes?

But, Kami, his eyes. I hold my textbook in front of my face, and I try not to look, I really do. But I can't help but sneak another peek at his back, willing him to turn around to talk to his friend again so that I can see those beautiful eyes.

It isn't even a joke how enraptured I am. Perhaps it's because he's a hafu, half-Japanese, half-foreign, but his eyes are different. They are hues of lavender, the deepest, most royal violet I have ever seen. And, I swear, at times, when he's happy, when he smiles, they sparkle.

I jolt when I find myself tracing the outline of them in my notebook. Not again. With a grimace and a groan, I erase the doodle and brush the shavings off the table.

Gritting my teeth, I close my eyes. I can help it. I can stop, I can.

My forehead feels cool against the surface of my desk, a brief relaxing respite for my eyes- but I only allow a few seconds of this luxury before straightening my back once again and peering into the book, deciphering the literary code of Greek inscribed within the pages as I wait for the teacher to arrive.

I will not fail.
