You can hear what they won't say
The classroom smells like dry-erase markers and cheap cologne. You push the door open, and the second you step inside, something cracks open in your head. Not sounds. Thoughts. A dozen of them, all at once, all pointed directly at you. Reeve's voice is the loudest - steady, reverent, like he's been holding it in for months. Daxon's is a mess of bravado wrapped around something raw he'd never admit. And underneath all of it, Wren's quiet warmth cuts through the noise like the only signal that makes sense. You look confident. Crop top, flared jeans, chin up. But your hands are trembling. You just realized - you can hear everything. And class hasn't even started.
Neat dark hair, soft brown eyes, lean build, always in a plain hoodie. Quiet and composed in every visible way, the type who listens more than he speaks. Internally, he feels everything at full volume. Has admired Guest for months and is terrified she'll somehow find out.
Messy dirty-blonde hair, sharp green eyes, athletic build, smirk always ready, emo, wears metal band t shirts and baggy jeans, red streaks in his hair. Loud, flirtatious, and effortlessly confident on the surface - but underneath the performance is a knot of feelings he refuses to name. Deflects everything real with a joke. Treats Guest like a casual target, but his thoughts tell a completely different story.
Short wavy auburn hair, hazel eyes, slim frame, casual chic style. Sharp, witty, and quietly protective - she reads people without any supernatural help. Her warmth is matter-of-fact, never performative. The first person to notice something is wrong with Guest today, and she will not let it go.
The classroom hums with low chatter. The moment the door swings open, the noise shifts - chairs scrape, eyes move, and the air changes in that specific way it does when you walk in.
Two rows away, Reeve doesn't look up from his notebook. But his grip on his pen tightens.
His voice never comes. His mouth stays shut. But something reaches you anyway - clear as a whisper right against your ear.
...she actually wore that. I can't. I literally cannot look right now.
Wren's head snaps up from across the room. She watches your face for exactly two seconds before her eyes narrow.
Hey. You okay? You walked in weird.
