I'm called to the
head mistress' office
during lunchtime to collect
my third certificate of the week.
Mrs Rose smiles and hands me
the thick card,
"Congratulations again, Harmony.
You're a model student and
we're very happy to have you here."
I accept it with a quiet nod
and try to smile
but the novelty of receiving them
has long
worn off.
It's when I get back that my heart
starts in sudden pain
because next to Mei,
sits a tall, tanned girl
with her black hair french braided
and her eyes crinkling with
shared laughter.
I turn my back to them
and sit down
away from them.

A. N. I hope you all have a lovely weekend ヾ(¯∇￣๑)
