"Hello, my name is Min Atari,"
"And I'm Stella Harrison,"
"And these are the morning announcements,"
Elle could hear the tension in their voices. They normally did the morning announcements together, if not Min, then Stella. But as they did their usual spiel, Min's voice was jagged and Stella's was dry. You could hear the anger as they talked about the yearbook cover contest, weather, and lunch.
She made eye contact with Blue across the room, who looked at the speaker, then back at her, then away, acknowledging what Elle had.
Just as the regular announcements finished, there was a brief pause, then Min suddenly yelled, "Goddam-" before it cut off.
The class was quiet, before the teacher cleared his throat and began doing attendance.

After Elle left class, she ran into her senior classmate, Min. They laughed awkwardly and looked at their feet. "Could I sit with you in math?" they asked.
Elle nodded. "'Course!" she smiled. They grinned and the two started walking towards the next class. "So..." Elle hummed, "What happened? Between you and Stella I mean,"
"Oh... that," Min looked at the floor, gaze hardening. "I was basically just trying to set some boundaries, but, then I said something out of pocket and she got mad. She said some messed up shit though," Min muttered, eyes narrowed. Elle looked at them sympathetically. "And she thinks I should apologize."
"Well, you can sit with me whenever," Elle put a hand on Min's shoulder reassuringly.
They smiled gratefully. "For a junior, you're pretty nice," they observed.
Rolling her eyes, Elle replied, "For a senior, you're not a huge douche bag,"
Min laughed. "Fair enough,"
