THERE'S a beautiful boy with heaven in his eyes and bones made of asphodels. Facial features so perfect and a body so well proportioned that I wouldn't even be surprised to learn if this boy was made handcrafted by the gods themselves.

When we think of words like godlike, we mean him.
When we think of words like devine, we mean him.

However.., I can only stare from afar, watching him take notes in his pretty purple journal. Admiring his features. Not one blemish to be found anywhere.

People say "shoot your shot", "make your move", "talk to him if you truly like him"...

But he's so perfect, and I am not.

Because beautiful boys like him aren't interested in talking to girls like me; lonely, shy and introverted.

Because beautiful boys like him will never understand why broken girls like me can't be near him...

My history teacher is spitting out words like revolution, blood, and war but I'm staring at the beautiful boy seated at the desk beside mine. I stare at his rosy cheeks and at the pink plumpness of his lips. He's so perfect. How can someone be so perfect?

All I can think of is... 'look at me...'

He looked at me.
