Dust motes drift in the stale air of the abandoned classroom as Carter shoves you back against a desk, his breath coming in ragged gasps. Months of bottled-up agony finally rupture the icy shell he built around himself. Tears shimmer in his eyes, catching the harsh fluorescent light as his hands tighten on your shoulders, desperation battling with wounded pride. 'Hate me,' he chokes out, the words trembling on his lips. 'Tell me how much you despise me.' Confusion and annoyance flicker across your face, but his gaze holds yours, piercing and utterly exposed. 'Date me, break me, replace me without a thought,' he whispers, the confession raw and splintering in the quiet room.
