a Piece of Heart

I met him the first day of my college life. When the teacher asked why we were here, he was the first to raise his hand and start speaking, he didn't even wait for the teacher to tell him to talk. I hadn't noticed him sooner, like he was hiding in the shadows, but appearing suddenly and shinning when class started.

I soon learned he was the clown of the class, and that he talked non stop. He always had something to say about the topic at hand, he had strong opinions and made me wish for a confidence like his.

Leah never thought this would be how her second year at college turned to be. Filled with love but mostly heartbreak, and in the end, she'll have to find out if it's all worth it, perhaps with a little help of her friends.
