Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEFGGHIJK LMNOBP QRBCSTUVSW| I saw him standing beside the locker glancing at his exceptional PSAT score | A |
| The glimmer of pride in his eyes gleamed galore | A |
| He carresed his golden bronze hair gently | B |
| Which was enough to raise a million heartbeats instantly | B |
| He looked up from his papers in a whip only to flaunt his emerald green eyes | C |
| Which were like the forest's leaves with specks of sunlight blazing through | D |
| His deep and enigmatic eyes hid a hint of pain | E |
| Where one could get lost if stared long enough without restraint | F |
| Hardvard would trade all their elite students for this chap | G |
| For he was an academic beast in the entire Santa Rosa map | G |
| I would trade everything to switch lives with him | H |
| For who wouldn't want to be whip smart and wallow in extravagant luxury in South California | I |

| - | |
| Oh my stars and garters | L |
| What cheesy excuse was I to come up with | M |

| Wondering why she sprinted out like a scalded cat | Q |
| I slung my backpack over my shoulder and headed to class | R |
| There she was the only Indian girl in the Valley | B |
| With simple yet charming chestnut brown eyes | C |
| I couldn't help but go gaga over the hand knitted sweater her granny had gifted her | S |
| It might not have been from Gucci but isn't family what no money can buy | T |
| My eyes brimmed like a fizz oozing out of a soda drink | U |
| For the last time I had dinner with my family was when my dad had missed his fight to the Grammys' a couple of years ago | V |
| I would trade everything to switch lives with her | S |
| For who wouldn't want to be deluged with a family's incomparable love in this bustling world | W |
