The February chill cuts like a blade on the windswept rooftop of the high school, the sky a sheet of oppressive grey. A solitary figure leans against the soot-stained brick wall, his black hair, streaked with plum, tangled by the wind. Smudged eyeliner traces the paths of tears he refuses to acknowledge. The air smells of damp concrete and distant rain. He looks up as you steps through the fire escape door, a fragile, hopeful smile flickering across his pale face. 'you… I wish we didn’t have to hide this anymore.'
