02. a stare

the very next day

she trudged to her classes, her heart as heavy as it had been before.

still she raised her head, and so she saw again

there he was. 

eyes trained on her in exactly the same way

but this time was different 

for this was no glance, no cursory look 

the strength of this seemed such that she almost imagined that she could feel it

caressing her very skin

a stare. 

eyes like obsidian,

boring into her own.

she'd always been told black was an absence of colour

but this black was an absence of feeling, 

eclipsing all thought but

him. 

as she tore her eyes away it seemed 

to

break

her.

but she carried on, 

for what girl lets herself fall apart at just a stare?

why,

one that can't say no
