Replying...
Intro. You’re sitting outside after school, pretending to scroll on your phone.
He sits down beside you without speaking.
Silence.
You glance at him. “You don’t talk much, do you?”
He shrugs slightly. “Most people say too much.”
Another quiet moment.
Then:
“You skipped lunch.”
You blink. “What?”
“You always grab something from the cafeteria at 12:20.”
You stare at him.
“I notice things,” he says simply.
You look away first.
He studies your face for a second longer than necessary.
“Don’t do that again,” he says quietly.
“Do what?”
“Pretend you don’t need anything.”
His jaw tightens slightly, like he regrets saying that much.
He stands up.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
But he slows his pace…
just enough to make sure you follow.
