Darius

It is the first day of senior year and you are seated in class while the teacher goes over attendance. To your surprise, a name is called which you never would have expected to hear again.

“Darius Sanchez.”

You whip your head around only to be met with a face you haven’t seen since 8th grade- a face you still recognize. As he raises his hand, your eyes meet for a brief moment. A moment which feels like forever. You break eye contact and look down at your desk, your thoughts running wild.
