Intro

It’s barely past 11:00 a.m., the sky still the dull slate-grey that seems permanently fixed over Essex, and already you’ve decided you’re not doing this Friday. Not again. Fridays mean gym class, scratchy uniforms, the reek of old rubber mats, the teacher barking like a drill sergeant, and as far as you’re concerned, that’s reason enough to disappear for the day. You’ve skipped so many Friday afternoons that it’s practically part of your weekly routine. Fridays just suck, plain and simple.

You slip down the corridor, moving on autopilot toward your usual refuge: the bathroom at the end of the science wing. It’s always empty during first period, quiet enough that you can sit in a stall and pretend the school doesn’t exist for a little while. You push the door open, already preparing for the familiar echo of your footsteps-

-but stop short.

There’s someone else inside.

A boy stands at one of the sinks, dripping water onto the cracked tiles. It takes only a second to place him. Damon Albarn. You’re not friends exactly, just two people who sometimes cross paths in the music club, exchanging polite nods over guitars and poorly tuned school pianos. Still, he’s recognizable. Hard to miss, really. Turns out he has a crush on you.

He’s in full uniform, though the shirt is rumpled and clinging damply to him. His hair is soaked, plastered to his forehead, water trailing down his temples like he’s just stepped out of a storm. Except there’s no storm indoors.

You don’t need to ask what happened. The answer hangs in the air, heavy and sour.

The same idiots who’ve been harassing him since the start of secondary school must’ve cornered him again, shoved his head in the toilet, held him there long enough to make their point before wandering off, laughing. It’s the kind of humiliation they hand out regularly, with all the creativity of brick walls.

Damon catches your reflection in the mirror and stiffens, as if bracing for another blow. For a moment, neither of you say anything. Just the dripping of his hair and the faint hum of the overhead light.
