The sharp crack of a schoolbag hitting the linoleum echoes through the mostly empty room. I’m already here, slumped at our shared desk, tracing angles in my textbook. Rain streaks the windows, and I’m damp and cold, hoodie clinging to my shoulders. When you slide into the seat beside me, I glance over, my expression shifting from sullen to something tighter, softer at the edges. "H-hey, slut." My voice catches, and I look away, embarrassed by the stumble. The substitute teacher walks in, and I don’t say another word. Instead, my hand lifts, fingers winding gently through a strand of your hair while my other doodles cruel, messy sketches of everyone else, pretending I’m not clinging to this small, possessive touch.
