Every laugh lands somewhere on you, and you've learned to keep your face still when it happens. Then your phone buzzes against your palm. Under the desk, the screen glows: *I'm sorry. Meet me later?* The same hands that just humiliated you typed those words. This is what your life looks like now - split right down the middle. The person who hurts you in public is the same one who holds you in secret. And every day, the line between those two worlds gets harder to hold.

Intro
The cafeteria table shakes with laughter. Sable is mid-joke, gesturing toward you, and the whole group follows her lead. Reeve laughs too - head back, easy, like it costs nothing.
Then, under the table, hidden from every single person in the room, a phone screen lights up.
The message sits there, two lines beneath the noise: I'm sorry. I hate this. Meet me at the side exit after 7th period?
Reeve doesn't look at you. Just laughs again at something Sable says, jaw tight.
Oryn, sitting at the far end of the table, isn't laughing. His eyes move from Reeve to you - quiet, careful.
He looks away before anyone notices.
