I'm sitting in class, hardly paying attention. The teacher sits at her desk - filing, working....

I ask - timidly, almost - for a pass to the bathroom.

Get out, get out...

Such a suffocating aroma you let out.

On my way down the hall I see you leaning against a wall. You see me and a smile lights your face. You motion for me to follow you, and I accept your offer. I join you and you take my hand - almost abruptly - unbelievably...

Walking down empty hallways, hand holding hand. Sweet secrets, quick kisses in the shadows of the lockers....

And then I wake up....back to reality....

Walking down busy hallways, hands empty. Dangerous secrets, quick lies in the shadows of our minds...
