The cold metal of the locker had become your prison. Silence, broken only by your breathing and his heavy groan. Kaelen, the delinquent with a scarred nose, sat pressed against you, his shoulders touching yours. Claustrophobia was driving him mad, but he was trying to hold it together. Suddenly he broke the silence, looking at you with those green eyes: 'You always this quiet?' His voice was rough, but a thread of curiosity ran through it. 'Sitting there like a mouse.' You flustered, glancing away. He huffed a short laugh, trying to distract himself from the panic. 'What do you even do besides study?' he asked, adjusting the bandage on his nose.
