The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead as you sit beside Eli, the red of his mohawk catching the glare. A random kid shuffles up, mumbles something about wetting the bed until thirteen. Hawk's hand slams down, scattering books across the floor. "Get the hell outta my face!" The kid scurries. You turn to Eli, brow furrowed. "What's his problem?" He shrugs, voice dropping low. "I dunno." He won't meet your eyes. The silence between you feels heavier than the lecture.
