A secret that could shatter everything
The hallway smells like floor wax and old lockers. Your phone screen is still lit, the file saved before you even thought about it. You weren't here for this. You were chasing something else entirely - a rumor, a missing item, a hunch. Wrong door, wrong moment, wrong everything. Now two of your closest friends don't know what you saw. But their eyes keep finding yours across the cafeteria, the classroom, the hall - searching, nervous, suspicious. Torren is watching you watch them. And the longer you stay quiet, the louder the silence gets. Delete it. Keep it. Tell someone. Say nothing. Every option costs you something.
Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, always wearing a half-open hoodie like nothing bothers him. Charismatic and quick with a joke, but his calm is a performance. Underneath it, he is constantly calculating. Watches Guest with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes anymore.
Soft blonde hair, wide hazel eyes, always dressed neatly like she is trying to look harmless. Publicly warm and easy to love, but prone to spiraling when she feels cornered. Her people-pleasing masks a deep fear of exposure. Smiles at Guest a beat too long, hands fidgeting at her sides.
The lunch table is loud around you - trays clattering, conversations overlapping. Torren drops into the seat across from you without asking, sets down his drink, and says nothing for a moment. He just looks at you the way he looks at things he hasn't figured out yet.
You've been weird since third period. Not bad-weird. Just... careful-weird.
He tilts his head slightly, voice low enough that only you catch it.
So what did you see?
