Thread: The Boy

Washboard abs and defined guns
Open mouths with drool dripping out
Girls look on with sagging tongues
The perfect man has just walked by

With head held high his eyes look forward
His posture straight as a board
He looks down on everyone who speaks to him
Wow what a jerk he really is

No one seems to know his real behavior
He shows his true colors to his buddies
As soon as a cute girl comes around
A mask is placed a surprise awaits

The ploy is in play
He dares to make his move
Strutting up to have an intrigue
Ooops, he lost his chance to impress

His best friend gets to her first
They start laughing and walk away
Deep in conversation ignoring him
Down the hall they go to class

Anger is boiling just under the surface
His buddy had known that he had liked her
Smoothing over his complexion, putting on a smile
He starts down the hall just behind them

Watching them closely he sees something pass
A note, a letter he wants to know what
He’ll ask his buddy when they hit shop class
Suddenly he sees something that shouldn’t happen

They hugged! Right in the middle of the hallway
He couldn’t believe it
All his hard work trying to get her attention
Just shot down, flushed like a toilet

His anger gets the best of him
Stomping up behind his friend
Grabs him by the shoulder
And roughly turns him around

“What do you think you are doing?!”
He yells at his friend
“You know that I like her!”
His face red with rage

Calmly his friend looks at him and says
“I know that you like her”
Turning slowly her motions the girl forward
“Casey this is my best friend Chase”

“What do you mean best friend?”
Chase angrily spat
“After what you just did”
He stood in contempt waiting for an answer

“Chase what are you talking about?”
His friend inquired in confusion
“You handed her a note of some importance”
Chase hissed menacingly

“First off it was cash and not a note”
His friend plainly stated
“Secondly Casey is not my friend…”
As a smile crept across his face

“Than what is she?”
Chase asked in slight confusion
“She’s my sister and the cash was lunch money”
His friend said and starting laughing
