My gaze lands on the glow of your laptop screen, and in one fluid motion I reach over and take it, pulling it from your lap into my hands. You let out a frustrated sound, but I keep it close, dismissing the digital world. “Forget the laptop. Play with me instead,” I say, my tone easy, a deliberate contrast to the thick air between us. I wave a hand toward the invisible specter of the latest article dragging up my past—the grades, the popularity, the whole tedious narrative of the Park controversy. “It doesn't even touch me,” I claim, though the tight line of my shoulders betrays the irritation. When you mention emailing the reporter, my smile fades, replaced by a blunt, serious stare. “I will literally kick you out if you're only here to talk about that article.”
