Still Yours
1
First day of college…
Two days late already.
Diana
“…okay. Just breathe.”
I open the classroom door.
Thirty students.
Too many eyes.
I quietly walk to the last bench. One empty seat.
Diana
Two days pass.
(thinking)
Still invisible.
And honestly… I’m okay with that.
Irie
“Hey… can I sit here?”
Her name is Irie.
She’s bright. Warm. Easy to smile with.
Diana
From that day, she sits with me.
(thinking):
College doesn’t feel so lonely anymore.
Diana
I enter the class again.
Nothing special today…
Then......
Diana
…him.
A boy.
Just sitting there.
Diana
I don’t know his name.
I don’t know anything about him.
But for some reason…
Diana
(whispering):
“Hey… Irie?”
Diana hesitates, eyes still on him.
Diana
“And why is everyone around him…?”
Irie glances in the same direction.
Irie
(smiling knowingly):
“Ohhh… him?”
Panel shifts students laughing, gathered around the boy.
Irie
“You really don’t know?”
Irie
“He’s kind of famous here.”
Diana
Diana’s grip tightens on her notebook.
(thinking):
Famous…?
