Eleven's POV
Denial doesn't work. Monday came anyway. As did school. I hadn't been in a week or so, due to our impromptu road trip. I knew I'd missed a lot and I'd be getting tons of makeup work today.
I was sitting in my English class, daydreaming of Mike. We were learning about poetry. We had to analyze a poem and tell what we thought it was about.
The Doors Are Closed
The doors are locked and no one wants in.
They play "ding dong ditch" with my
emotions.
A knock on the door to my heart. I answer and no one is there.
The neighbors do not hear my cries. They hear, but they do not come.
I cry out in the night. I am alone.
The doors are locked, the keys are hidden.
The doors to my heart are closed.
The teacher calls on me. Of course.
"I think it is about a girl who feels like she has no one there. All of her friends are only surface friends...people who stay for the sleepovers and inside jokes, but leave when you are really in need. They may ask her if she's okay, but they don't really care about the answer. They only want to appear as if they care."
"Excellent answer. Does anyone have anything to add to what Eleanor has said?" No one said a word. The bell rang and I grabbed my books, leaving the classroom.
Mike was waiting for me at my locker.
"I'm here to escort you to lunch."
"Are you sure you're not just making excuses to hang out with me more?"
"Shut up and hold my hand." He smiled and I laughed. I love it when he teases me.
We walked to lunch and sat in our usual seats. It was less awkward today and I even talked to Max some. After talking to Mike, I felt better about her.
I'm not saying she's my favorite person, but I know I don't need to worry about her taking my Mike. She seems cool. Maybe I should open up the doors to my heart...
