Mixed Signals

He’d say something then do the opposite. So does that mean when he said he loves me, he means the opposite? If he says I look ugly today, does that mean I look gorgeous? You tell me not to act that way around your friends and then you act like that.
I pushed the door open and walked into homeroom and glanced at you across the room. Your mouthed the word beautiful to my friend.
Does that mean you think shes ugly?
I took my seat and watched him glide across the plaid carpet and into his seat.
He turned around and faced me, “Hey gorgeous” he told me, his face giving me mixed singnals.
Was that a lie?
I gave him a weak smile and bit my tounge to keep the rambling questions building up in my brain from spilling. He turned around and I unleashed my tounge from the grip of my pearly, whitened teeth. I closed my eyes for second to clear my mind and opened them to see him mouthing tonight to a girl across the room.
Does that mean he saw her this morning?
I felt tears and sensed mixed signals.
