SchoolA Poem by oli the outcastschool is stressfulI walk to my locker and the first thing I think is "oh god, I hope she doesn't notice me today!" My hands tremble, my breath is uneven, and getting there early gives me hope. I walk into the classroom, nod a silent good morning to the teacher. Oh god. I didn't say it, I just nodded. Is that rude? Should I go back? No, I couldn't go back now, everyone's waiting for you to sit down, relax, cmon, breathe. I put my books down and sit beside a pretty girl. Is everyone comparing us? Can they see the way my thighs spread as I sit? I stand for the national anthem, morning prayers and hope no one notices my overly-curvey curves, my long hair that needs to be washed, I hope when I sit they don't see how big I really am. Wait, since when has first period started? Crap, crap. My hands shake and my breaths shorten. Slowly pull out the math textbook, you can do it, you've been paying attention! The boy across the class is looking at you yes he is he sees what a clumsy kid you are. You look over. His head turns away. alright, no, just divide some exponents. You know this, it's simple. Cmon, you know this, don't ask the teacher! You're supposed to be a genius like everyone always said! Your father's daughter. No, I get it, but my writing is unorganized, this is too messy. It's okay, it's just math, relax. I drop the pencil. No, they're not, be quiet. It's okay, breathe, I can do this. You look to check the time. First period is almost over. You've already got homework. © 2013 oli the outcastAuthor's Note
