You heard about me in the halls, again.

You glance at me with obvious judgement, again.

I don't understand why all those rumours matter, to you.

I don't understand what makes me different, to you.

I heard rumours about you in the halls, today.

That's all they were, to me.

I see you standing there.

I see you holding your books tight to your torso.

I see your eyes glance at mine, getting distracted a couple of times.

Your broad shoulders under your hoodie.

Your darks eyes filled to the brim with tears.

Your body language shying away from the beady eyes of our schoolmates.

I don't think you really played with that girl's heart.

I don't think you really punched that guy just because.

I walk up to you with faux confidence.

All you want is someone to tell you that it's all okay.

I stare at you with undeniable judgement.

"I heard about you in the halls today." And then I walk away.
