Day 9

Jonathan.

Annabella is back

For some reason

My eyes would scan the classroom

And always come back to her

She caught me a few times

I always sent her a smile

Which she returned

Though it didn't

Reach her eyes

That seemed to have

Sort of lost

A type of spark

As if they

Need to be recharged

But were beautiful

Anyways

It's hard to explain

When class was over

I purposely waited for her

To come out

So we could officially meet

She bumped into my shoulder

Her precalculus book shuttered

From the impact

She looked towards me

Expectantly

I could feel

The nervous perspiration

Developing on my hand

I guess a hand shake

Isn't an option

I scratched the side of my head

"Hi I'm Jonathan, your Annabella right?" I asked

In a rush of words

That I hoped she would understand

She smiled

"Yes, nice to meet you"

She said shyly as she put her hand out

Great. I thought

I quickly made a fist

With my hand

And said

"Knuckle touch time"

Like a complete idiot

She giggled

And our fists clashed

Against each other

As I walked with her

To the next period

That she never knew we shared

I couldn't take my mind

Off her nose

It was adorable

And scrunched up

Slightly when she laughed

It made me laugh

It made me smile

It made me...

I don't know
