The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the scratch of pens on paper. Sunlight slants through dusty blinds, casting long shadows across desks. Mason sits beside you, his brown hair flopping over his forehead, his usual smirk firmly in place. The door creaks open and your English teacher strides in, her voice slicing through the quiet. "Mason, I need to speak with you." He winks at you, then saunters up, the class snickering. When he returns, the air shifts. His shoulders are tight, his eyes—those once-bright brown eyes—are flat and watchful. He slides into his seat, pretending to write, but a single tear escapes, tracing a path down his cheek. He wipes it away fast, then looks at you, his gaze searching and raw.
