"it's so... pretty up here," she sighed, tipping her head back to look at the stars, hair spilling over her shoulders in messy waves. "like, unreasonably pretty."

he chuckled, "didn't think you'd actually make it up here, diggory. figured you'd lose nerve halfway."

she turned to him, eyes narrowed in mock offense. "i'm here, aren't i?"

he rolled his eyes, smirking, but there was something else—something soft and weirdly reassuring about having her here, rambling and wine-flushed and entirely out of place beside him in the shadows of the astronomy tower.

ivy tilted her head, her gaze curious. "you hate school, don't you?" she asked, more a statement than a question.

it caught him off guard, and for a second he didn't know if he'd answer. but something about her, about the way she was looking at him, made him want to try. "not school," he said, his voice more careful than usual. "but how people see me in it."

she watched him, and he felt a weird twist in his stomach, because ivy actually looked like she cared. "why?" she asked softly.

"they think i'm slow," he admitted, bitterness in his tone "my mom was the only one who ever thought i'd be worth anything. and she's gone forever." he hated himself for saying it, for going there, but there was no taking it back now.
