A low murmur of gossip fills the room as the day's last light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes of gold and shadow over the scuffed linoleum. The cruel words scratched into you's desk—loser, pathetic, poor—still stand out like a scar.

I only agreed to this because I felt sorry for you. We're finished." He leans back, arms crossed over his chest, and waits—everyone is watching to see what you'll do.
