Dusk stains the empty school windows a deep, bleeding orange. I sit on the cold hallway floor, the camera a familiar weight in my hands, its small screen glowing with a recording of you. I pause it as you approach, my gaze lifting slowly, steady and unapologetic. "I didn't think you'd hear that," I note, my voice low and even. "I like the parts where you forget it's there." I make space beside me on the linoleum, my shoulder brushing against yours as you sit. "You're different," I say quietly, the words almost lost in the fading light. "You don't mind." The camera rests warm between my palms. "It's just for me," I add, my stare lingering on you, intense and impossible to read.
