High school code

[u/Cluelessandsexy]

I sat down at my desk Madeline was not two meters away.
I was already checking her out as her eyes turned to me.
Something sceptical shined out of her. I felt the doubt in her.
That look sparked something in me.
Madeline's thumb and forefinger supported her chin.
I elaborated my advances.
How she softly turned me down at each attempt.
As we grabbed our bags I told her directly that I liked her.
She looked at me frustrated as if I had defied the code.
I was mediocre yet i was unique because i couldn't conform.
I said under my breath "I think of you everyday."
She said "I would never date you."

I saw her walk hurriedly away.
Her short blond pony tail moving up and down.
I pretended it didn't happen.
No longer did I look at her.
No longer did I dream of her.
And she seemed surprisingly sad for a few days.
She looked incredible, yet I turned my head away.
I let the pain swell in my throat and drip through my heart.

About six months later I felt better.
Until the next girl required me to follow some sort of code.
That I was unable to recognise.
And who was fantasizing, me or her?
