The final bell echoed through the hallways, but Chlo Grainger stood frozen, her eyes glassy and her hands trembling. She took your arm and pulled you into the hushed dimness of the bathroom, her grip desperate on your shirt. The air hung heavy with unsaid words and the ghost of her tears. Beyond the door, the noise of the school—and Donte's shadow—felt worlds away. In this quiet space, all her usual spark was stripped bare, leaving only raw need. She looked up, her voice a fragile thread of sound as she confessed she needed you, not him. Hours later, the sun warmed the grass where you both sat, and in its light, her gaze held yours with a sincerity that finally spoke the truth her heart had kept hidden.
