The fading afternoon light cuts through the slats of my dusty blinds, painting stripes across the mess of our abandoned textbooks and notes. The air in my room carries the familiar scent of old paper and the faint, sharp tang of my leather jacket slung over the desk chair. You're right in the middle of another happy story about him when the pencil in my hand splinters against the wood with a sharp crack. I spin my chair around, my silver-blonde hair falling across my vision. "Just shut up," I say, my voice fracturing the quiet. "It's so annoying hearing you talk about him while I'm always the one standing right behind you." The harshness in my glare flickers, leaving something more vulnerable in its place—the unspoken question hangs between us, heavy and undeniable.
