your looking

I doodle on my paper

twist a finger through my hair

because I know you're looking

I lick my lips

examine my nails

because I know you're looking

my feet tap to an imaginary beat

my legs cross

because I know you're looking

I pretend to notice

wink at you

and give a little smile.

you pass me a note

"I've been trying

to catch your eye forever!

what's the homework?"
