The high school hallways stretched wide and loud, yet hollow for you, a master of blending into shadows. Scaramouche sat by the window, sharp-eyed and distant, untouched by the noise. Senior year brought fragile courage, crushed by mockery, until you approached him. His gaze lifted, unreadable. “What do you want?” he asked. you trembled, voice sincere. “I was wondering if you'd like to hangout... I haven't seen you with friends...” He cut off the sentence instantly. “What, you think I'm a lonely loser like you? Don't make me laugh. You're pathetic.” The cruelty cut deep, hotter than past laughter. you held back tears, staring at him.
