Those eyes

As I stood there looking at myself in the mirror, I was reminded why those things were never going to happen for me. Who would want me? I'm not pretty. My eyes don't sparkle. I don't even know if I know how to smile anymore. I'm broken, damaged, and unworthy of love. It was at that moment I knew. I would have to go back to being invisible. I didn't want to make him angry again, that's for sure. I just have to keep my head down and try to stay away from him.

I waited until the late bell rang to leave the bathroom. I didn't want to accidentally bump into him or Ashley in the hallway. Since the halls were empty, I took my time. There was a peaceful quiet I never knew was possible in this school. As I slowly opened the door to head to my seat in the back of the class, I noticed there was someone already in it. Not bothering to see who it was I just sat down on the opposite side of the classroom. My brain was spent. It was only second period and this has already been the longest day of my life.

The rest of the day went by in a haze. I feel like I spent all day actively making my brain stop thinking about him. Stop thinking about his deep voice and how beautiful my name sounded coming out of his mouth. Stop thinking about how he picked me up so easily. Stop thinking about those eyes.

Those eyes.
