It was a crisp autumn day at Central City High and Iris West was running late. Iris was never late she was a very punctual and precise student.And to make it even worse she was supposed to be torturing Barry Allen the cockiest idiotic person in the world. She only agreed to do it because it would give her some credit. When she arrived at the library he was already sitting down at a table.

"Thought you ditched me there for a second." He said with a smirk on his face. Iris rolled her eyes and said 

" It is not my fault I just lost track of time and frankly I have better things to do than help you," She said as she sat down. Barry's smile faltered as she pulled out her math book and fiddled her pencil between her thumbs. For the next hour, they just looked down at there books and studied.


                                                                                         oo  

It was the next day and Barry was walking down the halls for lunch when he heard the strumming of a guitar and a gentle voice softly singing

"Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood

Miss "No way, it's all good", it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second-guessin
g, underestimated

Look, I'm still around"

It was Iris sitting there singing! Thinking of it he never saw her in the lunchroom this must be where she goes! She has a beautiful voice he thought to himself. He was about to turn around when he accidentally know over a set of drums and Iris jumped back startled. Barry's face turned bright red as he tried to explain what he was doing there 

"Sorry I did not mean to intrude I just heard a really pretty voice and I.." He trailed off. To his surprise, Iris started laughing 

"It's alright guess I did not  close the door all the way um but you gotta promise not to tell anybody alright?" 

"sure but why?" Barry asked curiously 

"I just um well It been four years of high school and I go by unnoticed And at this point I just want it to stay this way." Barry nodded then he looked at her she had a tiny frame and her long blackish brownish hair was tied up in a ponytail she was wearing black legging and a blue sweater. 

"Okay I won't tell anybody I'll see you in chem" And with that, he left the music room leaving Iris thoughts to wonder. Little did she know that she had been noticed and it would change her life forever 

The song I used was Perfect by pink
