I hope mine could be
one day, for somebody.
Even if
that somebody is me.
After school, I go to watch a fight
with Grace, Faith, and Destiny.
They push to the front
and when we get there we see Kieran
from our year land a knockout right hook
to a boy from another school. Kieran is known
for fighting and soccer.
He makes me nervous. He makes me think
of my previous school.
His rival falls to the ground.
Everyone watching from our school
begins to chant, “Kieran! Kieran! Kieran!”
This fight has nothing to do with me
but my
breathing
gets
funny.
“Kieran is so hot. Don’t you think?” asks Grace.
I gulp for air.
“Oh my gosh, Grace. Shut up!” says Destiny.
“I’m not asking you,” says Grace.
“I’m askingMichael. Do you think
Kieran is hot,Michael?”
I wonder,Is Kieran hot or is he frightening?
Kieran is tall and black,
he has short hair with a fade.
