She's at school. I can't stop staring at her.
Maya's her name. It suits her.
She's blonde with gorgeous brown eyes and freckles. When she smiles or laughs it's hard not to do the same.
Homecoming's coming up and I need to rack up some courage if I'm gonna ask her.
I mean..if she'll go.
She's way outta my league anyway.
I'm back at school tomorrow. I'll ask then I think. At lunch. With everyone staring...
No, my anxiety could never. I push my glasses back up my nose. I can't wait for my surgery, so I don't have to wear them anymore. Maybe she'll fall for me like that.
I stare into the mirror, my eyes running over my chunky black glasses, green eyes and ugly features. My hair sticks up in all the wrong ways and I don't look...normal. All the other boys at school have toned muscles, blonde hair and blue eyes. Here I am looking like a noodle.
Maya would never fall for me.
