"You look terrible, Oliver." Mason comments. I don't bother responding. The desk in front of me remains empty; it seems no one took the seat. Well, considering the amount of sharpie residue from terrible messages on it, no one would want to sit there.
"You okay?"
I bury my head into my arms in the desk.
"Well then, be that way."
A few minutes later, Mason speaks again. "Is it the Corey girl?"
I raise my head.
"It is, isn't it?" He sighs. "I'm sorry. I don't know why you're so upset over her, but she's dead. You can't do anything about it."
"I know." That just makes me feel worse. Yeah, no kidding I can't do anything about it. And I didn't do anything about it earlier either. I'm so stupid.
"Just don't fail."
I bury my head back into my arms.
