sometimes I remember the boy from 4th grade

we smiled at each other on the playground

we would read side by side, always without saying a word

one day I smiled more often than usual

when he leaned over and told me he liked me

to this day, he is the only boy to have ever done so

we kept smiling at each other, just knowing

that we cared in the most innocent of ways

at age 10, life seemed to be working out

then the end of school came

he told me he was moving away

but we kept smiling

we waved to each other on the last day of 4th grade

and our smiles never faltered

we knew there would be others to smile at

what I wish I knew then

was that not everyone will smile back.

“The word of the day is ruse,” I was told today.

Well, m’am, there is a difference between a joke and some sort of complex scheme to deceive another person. 

Not just ruse, “ROOS”. The pronunciation of this word is clearly more important than the points of view of students.
