Gazes, silences

The tickling in the skin started. I don't need to turn to know you are watching me.

I search you in the known faces to find your little eyes, that seem to have secretly wated for this moment. For a few second I'm trapped by your unalterable smile, and I wish that at least this time I'm the reason giving it life. Just a look of distance and we must obey the inexorable coldness of the silent game.

We both turn away. I hope time runs fast and so our eyes could meet again soon.

No. You can't know I'm watching you this way.

It's better when you don't notice me, when you keep observing the world with you terrible gravity and you forget my existence. I rather be invisible that just a child looking at you as stupefied by your eyes which seem to read everything, which could discover all of my secrets. I don't want you to know I feel clumsy when I see you arriving, though sometimes I think you suspect.

Too late, your eyes are fixed on mine. I have to turn.


*****


Here we go again. A new gaze.

Time escapes while I wait for a word to brake the routine, capable of taking the casuality to the clandestine encounters with your eyes. I wish it falls from your mouth to keep the magic, you say it because I'm not allowed.


*****


I hate having to silence what I feel. I hate understand at last that thing about feeling like a teenager when your eyes... oh, no. There they are again. Don't look at me, please, not in front of everyone. Do it when nobody can notice it, not even you.

I want to hear your voice calling my name when only I could hear it.


*****


A bell rings in the distance.

'That's all for today. We'll meet again on monday.'

Everyone start leaving the classroom, except for a girl trying to settle her uniform.

'Is there anything you wish to tell me, Francisca?'

'No, nothing professor. Until monday.'

Another story without an end.
