Brodi Ashton Quotes
Jack Didn't Try To Speak To Me The Following Day. Or The Day After.Or The Day After That.
But He Was In Mrs. Stone's Classroom, In The Seat Next To Mine, Every Day For An Hour After School, The Only Sounds Coming From Our Pencils Scratching Against Our Papers. And The Days Passed Like This Quickly. Too Quickly.
I Stole Glances At Him.Sometimes He Tucked His Hair Behind One Ear, But Mostly It Hung Loose Around His Face. Sometimes He Had Stubble,as If He Were Shaving Every Other Day.Sometimes I Was Sure He Could Feel Me Staring.His Lip Would Twitch,and I'd Know He Was About To Turn Toward Me,so I Would Hurry And Look At My Paper.
And Sometimes I Would Read The Same Sentence In The Textbook Over And Over, And At The End Of The Hour, The Only Thing I'd Learned Was That Jack Liked To Tap His Eraser On His Desk When He Was Stumped, And When He Would Stretch Forward,his Shirt Lifted,exposing A Tiny Bit Of Skin On His Back.
