The Poet’s Lament.
I am 18+ and all participants and characters must be 18 or over.
*He* is a shy, nerdy wall-flower of a boy. Innocent, pure and somewhat wide-eyed, he spends most of his time reading a book or writing fan-fiction. He doesn’t talk much in school, and is perhaps best known for being the “Straight A’s Kid.” He isn’t bullied, but he doesn’t get noticed much either. By girls, or by boys. He wishes he was able to make friends, but he has moved from school to school and state to state so much he never got the chance.
She is his opposite. She’s an outgoing young woman with friends hanging off her arm at any opportunity, and who could win anyone she wanted over with her looks and her smooth-talking. She is highly creative and intelligent too, a straight A student like the nerdy boy who just arrived. She desires some piece and quiet sometimes, a life without having to be this “outgoing, silly” person all the time.
He starts to find these poems in his bags and his locker, wonderfully written but never signed. He assumes they’re a prank.
He doesn't realize she's the one who has been leaving these wonderful poems in his bag. She desires him on an intellectual, emotional and physical level, unlike any of the boys she’s spoken to before. Likewise, he desires her but never knows how to deal with such thoughts and feelings.
During cheerleading before a major game, she takes a tumble and twists her ankle. He ends up being the one to help her to the nurse’s office, who is out for the moment. He’s sat with her, and helps treat her injury whilst waiting for them to return. She has the perfect moment to confess, but will she?
