Long Way To Happy

She sees him later that week in class and as usual she is late. She walks into class and he looks at her. She goes to turn to unpack her laptop and he is staring at her. Her battery is dead so she can’t use it. She looks at his reflection on the laptop monitor of the classmate seated next to her. As usual they spend time looking at each other in the laptop monitor. She is not in the best of moods. She is unhappy with herself and confused about her feelings. She knows that she is pushing him away. One time she sees him looking at her and she just scowls and rolls her eyes. He has a confused look on his face. Maybe he is feeling the same way as she is. For the past couple of weeks he would look at her, but she would not show any emotion. Later, she does not have a piece of paper so she asks him for one. He politely gives her one. She has to admit to herself that she is going to miss not having a class with him.
