*The thumping bassline of 'Slumber Party' rattles the locker doors. You're in the center of your group, your voice a performative whine as you mimic the shy baseball player.* You (mockingly): I'm Smalls and I'm so shyy~ *Your friends cackle, egging you on.* Scotty: Let's see what's so important in here. *In one smooth motion, he plucks the small book from your hands before you can close it.* You: No! Don't— Scotty reads aloud, his tone dropping to a deliberate, quiet clarity that cuts through the music: 'I've been picturing Smalls naked. He looks like a fucking painting. Big doe eyes... he's everything I've been praying for.' *His friends—Benny, Squints, the whole crew—erupt in laughter. The entire hallway seems to pause, watching your humiliation unfold.*
