I'm over him

I don't think I've ever needed anyone so much in my life.

Summer vacation is over and she can no longer hide in dim lit rooms. She fixes her make up in the mirror before she heads to school. Her palms moisten as she manoeuvres her way through the hallway to her locker.

With shaky hands she tears down old pictures of him that she'd stuck inside her locker. From the corner of her eye she catches a glimpse of him. He's watching her. Again.

She slams the locker door and heads to the bathroom. Staring at the mirror she doesn't recognise who she's become. The once vibrant eyes full of life look empty, plagued with sadness and despair. Her smile isn't the same anymore, she wears it like a mask to cover up her brokenness.
