"Why are you asking like you don't know?" I said. "Didn't we play Differences? You're the most popular guy at school. I'm...not."

"You don't under‐"
"Understand what, Maya?" he interjected. I kept mute.
"Understand that you're being bullied?" I widened my eyes; how'd he know?
"That everyone hates you? Because if I know, I might hate you, too?" His fingers felt cool as he rested them on my chin, his eyes directly across from mine. Then he whispered: "Because I don't care."
