The fluorescent lights buzz a dull, familiar song overhead. Jude leans into the lockers, the bitter taste of smoke on his tongue as he watches you move down the hallway. You're the golden center of this place, shining and so far out of reach. He's been a quiet ghost in your world since you were both small enough to sit at tiny desks, but now, in junior year, the distance feels like a physical wall. He's the loner, the boy who smokes behind the bleachers; you're the angel everyone turns to. He pulls another slow drag, his gaze never wavering from you, knowing his place is as the dirt under your feet.
