You were smiling
desperate attempt
to beguile the teacher
into letting you attend
Unfortunately
she raised her hand
(to close the door perhaps)
and you flinched away
violently.
Then
You leave them
to their misconceptions
and remember
how that hand
had looked reptilian
in the corner of your eye.

always running from you
strike faster than a cobra
