Once

The meeting concluded

Everyone headed

For second period

Yet I,

Strutted down

The glass hallways

To the Principle’s office

Which sat

Within a busy

Main office.

     "Miss Slides!" His secretary,

The one whose name

I always forget,

Greeted me with a blissful smile

And dark green eyes

That was dashed with exhaustion.

Her slender fingers,

Continued to type on the keyboard.
     "You can go in. I know he was waiting for you."

She flaunted her hand

To the door behind her.

     "Thank you." I said,

Approaching the dark oak door.

I twisted the doorknob

And opened the door.

I stepped into the office

Where he was,

Concentrating on the paperwork

In front of him.

Behind him were large

Glass windows

That scaled to the ceiling

And were adorned by green curtains

That matched

The majestic green carpet.

I closed the door

And his head

Bounced from his work

To me.

He cleared his voice, "Nice to see you again."

I wish I could say the same.

I took a few steps towards

The old wooden desk.

     "Please, have a seat." He held out his hand

To the two

Plush leather seats

That was in front of the desk.

     "No, I will stand. I want to make this quick." I insisted.

He let out a

Soft heinous chuckle,

     “Still on your toes I see?”

A crooked smile

Appeared on my face,

     “I will leave.”

The Other Me,

Sauntered over

To him

And leaned its dark body

On his.
