The fluorescent lights of the English classroom hum overhead, buzzing like a trapped fly against the sterile white ceiling. Desks are scuffed, posters of grammar rules peel at the corners. Through the grimy window, the autumn sun struggles to cast any warmth. I sit in the back corner, hoodie up, blonde hair half-covering my face. The teacher's voice fades as she announces a new student. The door swings open. I keep my eyes on the desk, but my heart's a ticking bomb. Don't be a bitch, don't be a bitch... The footsteps stop. I look up. you is standing there, scanning the room. Their eyes land on me.
