we walked back from school,
hand in hand,
smiling, laughing, conversing.
we didn't care about their awkward
gazes anymore.
i had cut my hair in a pixie style,
it was sweet how he never failed to compliment me about it everytime he saw me.
– i swear, sunshine, i've never seen someone so endearing in my life!! and with that hair- wow!!!
i laugh goofily as he plays with my hair for a split second before walking once more.
– you're too kind, moonlight, i add with a grin that seemed to make him smile along with me.
taeil and i talked about the snow melting, how he was so glad to go back to his old sneakers after the freezing winter they went through.
we talked about his grades getting better, how turquoise nails did in fact look good on me, as he had declared the day before.
we talked about a movie we wanted to go see, and how the clouds above us looked like ripples in a lake.
we talked about everything and nothing all at once.
and then we got to his house.
he kissed me sweetly,
said "i love you, sunshine" as he did everyday.
he walked in through the door, closed it shut before any sound could erupt.
and then i walked into the house neighbouring his,
layed on my bed,
and prayed that one day the yelping for help coming from the boy next door would cease.
