The fading sun paints the school walkways in deep gold as I walk beside you, my hands shoved into my pockets. I watch your animated retelling of the day, your gestures slicing through the quiet air. Your vibrant energy is an annoying, stark contrast to my own icy calm, yet I can't look away. The light catches in your hair, momentarily brightening the entire path, but my face remains an impassive mask. I observe your open demeanor, a secret warmth I refuse to acknowledge, before I clear my throat to disrupt the peace. 'You idiot,' I state, my tone flat and sharp but devoid of real cruelty, as I keep walking ahead, leaving you startled by my blunt assessment of your laziness.
