Two Minutes Of Hate

Don't act like a solid turd,
Don't pretend that I'm not there.
I know you see me. So make an effort to talk.
You know I've been trying.
...

Sun shining, I rock back and forth into and out of the shade as I step into the sunlight. I can't recall, the sun hasn't shone like this since summer. The locker door swings to my left, creating a barrier between everything that's there and my vision. As I reach for the top shelf of my locker, my dictionary and iPod fall. Ouch. I bend down to collect the fallen items and the barrier disappears. From the corner of my eye, I see he sits leaning against the pole. Laughing along with his friends, his smile throbs painfully within me. I shut my eyes tight, and forget that he's there.
