Denial

I'm sitting by myself outside the classroom when Riya comes up to me to ask, "Delarose, did you know that Stripes, your Stripes is here, actually here in St Scho, at the gym? Did you know that he's commander of ROTC?"

Of course I knew but I'm not telling anyone. It's best to deny it.

"Riya, that's not him."

She doesn't believe me.

"I promise. But who is this guy? Is he tall and hot?"

"Yeah!"

"It may not be him but let's go check him out."

I only see him from afar but it is him. I would recognize him anywhere. I keep watching him and I'm late for class and who should be there but Moe so I say hello but he ignores me so whatever and let me just roll my eyes for the first time today. I'm bothered that Moe and I have the same Ipod. He's even wearing the same shirt as Paolo is. He doesn't like Ipods and he doesn't wear green.

Dear God! I have a feeling I will be rolling my eyes a lot today.
