Mundelein High School - Voices Magazine - 2020
This magazine is the culmination of hundreds of submissions from the students of Mundelein High School. Our editing staff spent the entire year choosing pieces to be published. Normally, we would also be publishing some of our school's phenomenal artwork as well, but due to the COVID-19 closure, we were not able to gather the artwork to vote on.

Missed Connections
Alonso Hurtado
It was a windy day in September. I saw you waiting for the bus on the way to ISU and I
got a little too many butterflies for my stomach to handle. My breath was stolen as your
long blonde hair bobbed and weaved through the crowd. Though I only got a few
glimpses my mind raced and propelled into planning our first date, there would be
green as far as the eye can see and the sky would be a deep yet gentle blue as we stare
up at the stars and talk about our plans for the future. Your pink pouty lips would
spread from cheek to cheek as you’d smile at our silly ideas, your beautiful and genius
ideas. Your warm hazel eyes made my mind fumble as I got closer. As I swam through
the stream of bodies the bus squeaked to a halt and you were gone along with the rest
of the crowd, leaving me dazed and in a rush. And without a seat. If you see this, meet
me at the school café in a week.
