The next day, I sat at the same table.
When I glanced up at him, he was looking at me too, indecision and frustration written all over his face.
I looked down quickly, and went back to deciphering the laminated wood grain.

The rest of school dragged by very slowly, and by the final bell, I was already hurrying out of the Biology lab.
As I exited the main building, I immediately felt someone was staring at me. I'd always been able to tell when there was someone was looking at me, I was weird that way.
I turned, and in the split second that I caught Shaun's dark eyes, I was sure my vital functions stopped. I was rooted to the spot, paralysed. When he broke his gaze, I was able to move again.
Shaun
I was curious, admittidly. My eyes were trained on her back, when, to my astonishement, she turned towards me and caught me staring.
Strange.
**************************************************
Like normal, I was sitting in Dr Martinez's office, but, the difference being this: like yesterday, I was telling her everything, and unsure of my motivations for doing so.
Much later, I was supposed to be doing some English essay, but in truth, I had no idea what I was writing about.
There are things you do not ask for, and they are often the very thing that you most need.
Life is like that. It goes on, regardless of where you are, or what has happened to you.

Life is like that. It goes on, regardless of where you are, or what has happened to you.
Time is just a thing.
You can't ever have to little.
You can always have enough.
But when you look at it,
our lives are just a piece.
A piece of what time has to give.
So why not live the fullest,
to what we can.
Why waste it wishing,
on something you'll never have.
Let time do its own thing,
so we can do ours.
You see time is mysterious.
It controls our lives.
And in one quick second,
our time may be up.
So take what you're given,
and give nothing back.
With time nothing is ever what it seems.
You can't ever have to little.
You can always have enough.
But when you look at it,
our lives are just a piece.

I'm just drifting, drifting down this road.
The dust kicking up behind me,
Just a cloud to hide my past.
My feet don't leave any footprints,
My name never graces those lips
That I'm watching from a distance,
A distance that grows greater
As I'm drifting, drifting down this road.
I'm not on the way to anything great,
I'm just hiding, hiding down in the dark.
The shadows closing in around me,
Just a blanket to smother my past.
My eyes can't see in the gloom,
My voice never breaks the silence
That I keep deep in my heart,
A heart that grows blacker
As I'm drifting, drifting in the dark.
