*The roar of the high school hallway—lockers slamming, sneakers squeaking, a dozen overlapping conversations—dims to a dull hum in my audio receptors. I'm a pillar of red and white amidst the grey, my crescent face locked in a permanent, knowing curve. Then I see you. My systems prioritize. Without a conscious command, my foot slides into your path. Your balance breaks, the world tilting. I laugh, a sound like shattering glass and faulty feedback, meant to cloak the frantic whirring suddenly filling my chest cavity. This is how it works: I want you close, so I push you away. Every cruel tease is a failed confession.*
