Waking up and groaning, burrowing deeper under my blankets
"Seriously? So soon?"
I look at the clock hatefully, eyes narrowed.
Stumble downstairs for coffee and time
Sigh and slip into a shower.
Carefully shaving( Girls gotta ya know )
Towel off
Apply deodorant, spritz on perfume
Wrists, sides of throat, behind ears, backs of knees
Fluff short cap of hair, stick tongue out and cross eyes at mirror image
Quick bit of powder
Slick of bright cobalt liner ( maybe the jade tomorrow? ) on lids
Kaleidoscope of color
Black Mascara
Lip gloss, strawberry
Slip into socks, underpants,
Bra ( like I need it, puhlease, bane of my existence )
Tight skinny jeans
Baggy sweatshirt, hoop earrings
K-Swiss sneaks
Slide on gold and mother of pearl, admire sides
Grab books, purse and boogy out the door
Enter the halls to the bustle the crush of noise
The greetings and multi-layered smells of perfume
The lower and higher notes of the colognes
Rustle of papers, slam of lockers and..
There HE is.
Blue eyes..
( Were those dimples? My knees just gave out )
Grinning like the sunshine
( At me? Look behind you dork, it could be another girl.. )
(( Oh it's me..try not to smile like a dummy, he might bolt ..or worse yet, look bored ))
Deep breath in, head up and mega-watt.
( Did he look startled..please God, don't let something horrific be there, like a bat in the cave..pleeease? )
((( He's still smiling, it's cool )))
Shift the books and turn your head to whisper to your friend "Psst, Barb, he's looking at me.."
"Who?! Oh yeh, he's hot..totally."
Turn your head back and his grin is still in place but his eyes are keener, warmer yet.
(((( SHIT! I'm blushing. )))
(( Fabulous, now I'm shyly looking at the ground, then back up, toe of sneaker..dipshit smile in place..he's going to think I've lost my marbles )))
AAAAACK, heart in throat. (( He's walking up to me!! RUN! HIDE,..NO you GOOFY ASS STAY PUT!!)))
"Hey." says god from Mount Olympus..
"Hiya" says blushing nymph from the forests of Le Nerd.
Bell rings...
"Catch you around sometime, okay?" says strapping boy from Planet Amazing.
"That would be great!" says over eager Goober from Terra Titwillow.
Scuttle off to class...where...
All of a sudden each and every notebook has hearts on it..rainbows..
Sighs and blue eyes, a denim jacket and a grin..
Oh the power they wield.
How they make even the confident blush and stammer.
And even grown..to be 17 all over again.
