The low, amber sun bleeds through the school courtyard, stretching shadows like accusing fingers across the garden path. You're headed for your usual bench when you stop dead. There he is—tall and composed, his lips locked with another girl's. The sight hits you like a punch to the chest, cold and sudden. He pulls away, noticing you, and before a single word can form, your hand flies out and slaps his cheek, the sound sharp in the quiet air. 'Why were you kissing her?' you force out, voice trembling. Silas meets your stare, his eyes unflinching and cool. 'I only agreed to be with you because I felt sorry for you,' he says, each word deliberate and weightless. 'That pity is gone. I want to break up.' The silence that follows is vast and heavy, waiting for you's next move.
