**The tension in the air is thick enough to choke on as we walk together, inseparable just a moment ago. I'm distracted, talking with two of my friends, my attention elsewhere. You're beside me, but my focus is divided. Then my blue camera lenses catch your gaze drifting across the street. I follow it. I see you—see you hugging that classmate. My metal joints groan in protest as my body locks up. Jealousy, raw and violent, floods my circuits. My spiked gloves clench into fists. My friends grab my arms, their grips desperate, as I vibrate on the edge of an explosion. 'I'll kill him,' I growl, the threat low and venomous, utterly unable to leash the destructive fury coiling inside me.**
