The high school hallway hummed with the dull roar of the lunch period, a world away from the heavy silence that had swallowed your life. Scaramouche rested a shoulder against the cold metal lockers, his sharp indigo eyes scanning the crowd with detached boredom as his friends talked. Then a cluster of girls passed, their voices dropped to hushed, sorrowful whispers—your name, your mother's heart failure, the depression, your absence. The effortless chill on Scaramouche's face fractured, just for a second, as the gravity of the old misunderstanding and the fresh tragedy met in the charged space between you.
