'Hey'

She texts,

'Hey'

I respond,

Her simple blue bubble lighting the room

and the fire in my heart

'Did you need help studying for the test again?'

I look over at my notes,

More doodles than numbers

And then at my desk,

Where hidden papers hide,

High scores and scribbled 'a's

Hidden beneath half-done homework

(no)

'Yeah'

'Want me to come over?'

(more than anything)

'I guess'

'cool, see you soon!'

(not soon enough)
