Chapter Five

Later in an hour. Where everyone is walking home. She stands by her locker. Her head buried. Hidden there. For she is the one. Who goes out the last.

And Lukas is sure. That no one else is looking. He walks to her. Counting his steps. One after another. Yet she does not expect him there. For no one else does that.

Even when she sees him. This close to her. She jumps back. For no one. Has come this close to her before. It's because of him. Since he came. She doesn't feel the same.

She has thought of things she has never thought before. All because. He is not like the rest. He is the only one. Who looks at her.

"You dropped something earlier." He says. His voice beautiful. For her ear to catch. She doesn't know whether it's because. He is the only one. Who has tried. Even to speak to her. Or whether. It's only because... It's beautiful.

She can't tell.

All this thought. Until she sees. What he has taken out. What he has. To give to her. It's hers. The diary in his arms. She  wants to pounce. And scratch his face. And grab the book. Out of his hand.

"Your handwriting is the most beautiful. And your poetry. Such a beauty undeniable." He adds in a comment. And a smile.

What does she do? In her fuming rage? Of all her privacy. All invaded. "How dare you!" She says. Screams. Even before she knows it. She has never before. Done that to someone. Even she. Surprised by herself.

And she grabs it from him. Her precious diary. He can see it. In her eyes. The bitterness. Though mixed with something. Of what he can never tell.

He does not hear of all her shouts. For he is lost in her eyes. All the while. Until she leaves him. Still staring. Even to the last of her shadow.

And out of the corners. Springs two. Miles Willson. And Amber William. Their faces stunned. More than having seen a ghost. Miles Willson. The cutest of them all. And Amber William. The darkest of them all.

For she is the only one. In that school. With that dark skin. And almost similar to the ugliest of them all. She is almost invisible. Though her beauty. Prevents her from going dark. And fully invisible.

Now Amber William. Only friends with Miles Willson. For he is the only one. Who speaks to her. For the rest of the school. As shameless as the world. Sees the 'difference'.

Yet most painfully. Miles Willson accepted it. The 'difference'. For only him knows. That there is no difference.

"How did you do that?" Miles Willson.  The cutest of them all. Asks. For he wants to know. "She never speaks to anyone." And as the two are stunned. Even the perfect of them all. Is stunned.

For by his word. "I don't know how I did it."
