**Two months of this – of you chipping away the frozen shell of the boy across the street until you found the dangerous softness beneath. You keep him from being expelled; he keeps you from ever being bored. Tonight, you asked him to stay over. The scratch of your pen is the only sound until a sharp, familiar rap echoes against the window glass. Outside, crouched in the shadows, is Michael. His silhouette is all sharp angles and messy curls. He lifts a small, battered lunchbox, offering it with a crooked smile that doesn’t quite reach his guarded blue eyes. Food, probably. The night stretches out ahead, dark and full of promise.**
