Poems by the Blushies Stars

First Impressions

LADETTE (Junior Year)

He sat at a table by himself

With plenty of space for us to join.

My friends and I scoured the lunchroom,

Clueless to where we three were going.

My brother tagged along because Wes

Had a small crush that he couldn't hide...

I knew it was Sage from the start

And our group buckled up for a ride.

We approached, but I got the boy's attention.

I had to make up for mistakes I made.

The bully I once turned into was put behind me.

And I led forth the 'kindness brigade.'

It's never easy to say your name first...

Tapping his arm, I watched him spin his head.

I didn't mean to make him jump...

"Sorry! It's just me, wasn't trying to scare ya," I said.

Barlow, as he shared his name,

Blushed rather hard and averted his eyes.

He was the Photography pro but barely boastful,

And completely unlike other guys.
