Falling apart, I sit here, just trying to concentrate on algebra. Trying not to love you. 
And you're just sitting there, oblivious, laughing with your friend that sits at the desk in front of us. I laugh too, it's absurd.
You say my name, it sounds so much better in your voice. I blush and answer sarcasticly. 
Mr Webb yells at us. 
"Be quiet. Get on with your work."
I try. But when you're just sat there. Oblivous. I feel like kissing you.
Off on a tangent.
You kiss me back and say that you love me an do I want to go our sometime. 
But I don't. You don't.
You just sit there. Oblivious. Singing a song under your breath. Absentmindedly.
I know that tune. Quietly I sing along.
Under my breath. Absentmindedly.
"You and I"

Basically this is a (very) short story about me and my crush. Who I do sit next to in maths and my maths teacher is called Mr Webb.
Oh and by the way, the song at the end is 21 guns by green day. I love that song!

I don&#039;t need a rose. I want a daisy you picked for my hair. I don&#039;t want some fancy box of chocolate. I want a pink frosting cookie you made just for me. Lets skip the upscale restaraunt and have a picnic in the park.

this is such a real piece, and like some of the other commenters, i'm going through the same thing

\&quot;To see what a man is like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.\&quot;

This is brilliant. I love it. I'm going through the exact same thing. Perfect.
