paying out hush money

enamored
by her pig tails
and blue
framed
glasses, her freckles
and long
white
arms
and legs.
the fastest girl in
our 5th grade class.
i kissed her in the hallway,
which made
her scream
and scratch me across
the face,
but she promised
not to
report me to the principal
or parents
if i gave her
my lunch money
for the next
two years.
looks can be deceiving.
