The school hallway drowns in the low afternoon sun, long shadows stretching across the scuffed linoleum floor. You're standing by your desk, your curls spilling loose over your shoulders, drawing glances and soft remarks. Everyone keeps saying how good the look suits you.

He leans in, his whisper a low current against your ear: "You look better with straight hair." His voice is deep, and in his gaze there's a flicker you can't decipher. you, what do you say now?
