❝There has to be some way to get out. There just has to be.❞
❝Everybody says that. Then they realize they're stuck. And they stay stuck because they're too scared to do anything else.❞
At first it was like a dream come true...
But it quickly turned...

Here I am, sitting in class again.
But it's different than the first time.
Because the first time I wasn't in Reece's hoodie.
I smile to myself as I doodle on a piece of paper before class officially starts.
Starting to wonder why Reece isn't here.
Books slam down on the desk next to me and I think I jump about 10 feet in the air.
"Oh, sorry did I scare you?" Logan drawls in a tone that makes me think he's not sorry at all.
"Is something wrong?" I ask.
"Thought you said you two weren't a thing." He muses as he sits down.
"We're not." I say, confused.
"Then why do you have his hoodie on?" He asks, staring straight ahead.
"How did you know it was his-"
"Whatever, Athena." He says as he opens a random book.
I slide back in my seat, a little sad. I mean, I like Logan.
But then my attention shifts as Reece walks in.
I quickly direct my eye contact away before he sees me looking.
But that doesn't mean I don't watch out of the corner of my eye.
He's looking at me.
Annoyed.
He's annoyed.
That's not good.
Why is he annoyed? I thought we were good. Why is he so moody?
Fine then.
"We're just friends." I say. "Me and Reece."
"Really? Does he know that?" Logan asks, facing me again.
"Reece doesn't think about me like that." I say.
Reece has always been a heartbreaker.
I forgot about that. Never really asked him, did I?
He probably does this with all of the others. Wins them over with his mysterious ways.
I mean, I could see how they could fall for him.
I almost did.
"Well, that's good to know. Look, I don't want to be forward or anything but...I don't know. You're so different from everybody else here. Everybody seems so generic. Would I be totally out of line to ask if you maybe wanted to get some food after school? Or something else. Anything you want to do." He rushes out.
