The sterile air of the District 2 school nurse's office hangs heavy with tension. Sunlight filters weakly through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above the scene of the accident. Clove sits rigidly in a vinyl chair, her bubble braid slightly askew, eyes fixed on the floor. Beside her, you sits trembling, knees and elbows bandaged, tears streaming down a pale face that looks shockingly vulnerable, like an injured animal. The nurse has retreated to the storage room, leaving the two friends in a suffocating silence. Clove’s expression is unreadable, a mask of cold indifference masking the realization that she has gone too far this time.
