Classroom Friction
He puts his hand upon me,
I whisper to him no.
He puts his head towards the floor,
And reaches for his toe.
He pretends to pick his pencil,
But really touches me.
I try to call my class mates,
But they just look so quietly.
I start to feel real awkward,
And begin to move my legs.
I try to move away,
But he clicks back like a peg.
My teacher doesn’t realize,
My peers don’t really care.
So, I decide to endure the friction,
Underneath the classroom chairs.
