Headphones
When I was young, people always said I would be a heartbreaker. I don’t think this is what they meant..
I don’t know if it’s my good looks or my natural charm, but people seem to gravitate towards me. I’m not often fond of my peers but one girl seemed to resist. Resist me.
I’ve never failed a lover- or so I call them- their always content with the results. New ones line up every day just to see me. But this one girl wouldn’t. Headphones, should we call her? She always had them on. She resists my charm. Resists me. Which drew me closer to her. To her heart.
Army’s of people trail behind me but she doesn’t. Headphones doesn’t see me, she’s not aching for my attention. I want her too see me. To hear me. To want me- just like everyone else.
I catch her one day, and her smile threatens me, kills me with purity and kindness- there must be something wrong. No one could be so pure. So clean- a rejection to sin. All my lovers have done something to attract me, calling me to cleanse them. But headphones doesn’t. She takes them off. “Hi, Damion right? Your very popular around school” She’s glowing, so bright. I lean on the lockers beside us, and look down on her- what’s this feeling in my heart?- I loose my breath. “I’m really sorry, I have to get too class but I’ll see you later.” I grab her arm. Pull her close. Her headphones hang loose around her neck, and I watch her. Her eyes resist me, her smile attracts me. I lean in. My hand glows as I hold her close, my hand on her cheek hers on mine. I ache for her to notice me more, not just as the popular guy but as her guy. Her hearts so pure so big- I couldn’t hold it if I tried.
She moves “Sorry Damion I have to go”- I can’t be mad at her- her hand touches mine as she moves away and I feel my heart race.
“Ay D! How’s it going” his hand slips round her waist. She needed to go, now she’s stuck in place. I clasp hands with the one she’s drawn too- a lover of mine to say the least, he’s drawn to me, to sin- “Not bad, bro. She was about to get to class” I reply, his arm tightens around her.
“She can skip with us, can’t you babe” he’s smiling, she’s not anymore. Their lips touch and my blood boils just a little bit more. She’s not comfortable. She’s such an angel, she couldn’t kiss me but he does it with ease.
I’m going to crush his heart. And I’m going to enjoy it- so much.
