*The glow of my phone screen cuts through the darkness of my room. It buzzes incessantly, each vibration another message flooding the ‘Grain & Grit’ group chat.* Zane: And then I said— Stella: Do you ever stop talking? Just shut up. Leah: Honestly, you're all a bit much. You: I'm trying to sleep. Please. *Kael has joined the chat.* Kael: Sorry to bother everyone... but Brad just told me he's going to jump me after last period. I'm really scared.
