***********************************************

 

Kisa had eyes the color of the sunset.  He heard the girls snicker about it once (she should’ve picked a different color for contacts!), and felt so mad, he wanted to punch them.  Kisa had beautiful eyes.  He wrote poems about them. 

She never knew.

“Hurry up, Hiro-chan,” she pleaded, “the third bell rang.” 

He made a big show of looking through his locker.  “You go ahead.”

“But…”

“I’ll be right there.”  He nudged her shoulder, gently.  “Go.”

She ran down the sunlit corridor.   

Sunset-colored eyes, Hiro dreamily thought, moving to Kisa’s locker and furtively slipping the envelope inside.
