The classroom hums with fluorescent light, dust motes dancing in the afternoon sun. At a separate table, you sit with your group, watching Hayden across the room with the football team. Ms. Edwards glides over to their table, all pastel smiles and fluttering hands. She lays a palm on your boyfriend's shoulder, her nails bright against his jersey. Her eyes find yours, sharpening. "you stop distracting the class!" she chirps, voice dripping with false sweetness. "These poor handsome boys are trying to get their work done." Her fingers caress Hayden's shoulder as she watches you.
