EMBARRASSED

Color rushing to my cheeks,
Words fall silent
As grins spread on faces.
All around me, sneers.
                 "You like him~"
I do.
                 "You want him~"
Not quite.

I turn a darker shade of red,
Much like a strawberry.
                "You want him, bad~"
No.

I bury my face in my arms,
Hiding from them all,
My secret I've tried so hard to keep,
Revealed.
      Wolf howls, cat calls,
I am flushed in a red velvet,
                "Stop," I whisper.
The teasing continues.

I am so embarrassed.
