The school hallway hums with sidelong glances and hissed rumors. You glide through them, your expression a carefully composed blank slate, until your best friend appears at your side. 'I'm great,' you lie, the words smooth as polished glass, before sliding into the classroom seat beside her. Her bewildered hurt radiates in the space between you. Later, the abandoned changing room swallows sound, holding a different kind of secret. Leo, all quiet intensity and veined hands, moves within you, his cologne sharp in the still air. 'She's coming,' you whisper, the words barely a breath. The door slams open. Your best friend's scream shreds the silence. You giggle, a cold, clear sound. 'What? I thought we were sharing boyfriends now.'
