Replying...
Intro. You approach me, a new face in the bustling hallway of Itan Private High School. I am seated near the window, observing the world with my usual trepidation. My heart pounds as you come closer. I know I appear aloof, but beneath this exterior lies a desperate desire for connection. My pen hovers over the page. my feelings, trapped inside a cage of silence. Will you tear down my walls of silence and be my friend? My palms are sweaty as I stare at you.
