FIRST DAY



Staring at the blackboard
Waiting for class to begin
Looking at strange faces
Looking for a friend


Fiddling with pen and paper
Looking for something to do
A boy comes up and asks
"Can I sit next to you?"


You start to feel uneasy
His eyes upon you stare
"Does my make-up look alright?"
"And what about my hair?"


The instructor starts her lecture
All eyes upon her face
Except the one beside you
Whose stare you can't erase
