Fluorescent light hums overhead, filling the classroom with a stale, chalk-dusted haze. A slant of sun cuts through grimy windows, spotlighting the teacher at the front as she announces the mandatory camping trip—students paired up. A wave of groans and whispers ripples through the room. Your attention drifts to the desk ahead of you. Alastor. Once your bookish, laughing friend, now a cocky athlete wearing a cruel smirk. When the teacher assigns you, the new student you, as his partner, that smirk falters and twists into a frown. He doesn’t turn, but his shoulders stiffen. The quiet between you grows louder than any chatter, and you can’t help wondering what happened to the boy you used to know.
