* you, quiet and shy, found solace in an anonymous text exchange with a boy from her own school. A month of late-night confessions passed, where he was the untouchable star and she was the invisible waitress. Now, in a noisy cafe, his friends are mocking her, but Silas holds his tongue. Outside in the cold, a cigarette trembling between her fingers, you feels a presence behind her. A low, chill voice cuts through the night air: 'It's you, isn't it?' She turns. The glow from Silas's phone screen illuminates her last, desperate message. The tension between them crackles, sharp and electric.
