The Lover and The Loved
by Johany Solano She sits, reading another of her favorite books, on the steps of the campus library. Her hair waves in the gentle breeze. She glances up and I look away, trying to be discreet. He’s here again. Watching me. All my friends have told me to confront him, but honestly he interests me. The quirky way he shifts his glasses, And glances up to see if I’m Still watching… Fascination If only I had the courage to talk to her, tell her that the book she’s reading is only the beginning of a long and gracious series. Or how her eyes glint in the sunlight, and how her hands sometimes curl against the cold. Everything about her is so easy going. He’s blushing, makes me wish that I could just ask him, what is he blushing at? Why does he always look so carefree, like every day is a great day? If only I could comment on the dangers of walking and reading. In fact, the book in my hands right now is the book he was reading the first time he bumped into me. Yearning. This, in this moment, when everything is at a standstill you see the sparks and then, only then can you truly, Love and be Loved Johany is a 10th grader at FHS. She is an aspiring author currently working on short stories, poems, and a novel. Her love for works expands towards all types of literature, but especially classic novels.
