Outcasts finding truth behind the gym
The brick wall is cold against your back. Frank's thumb traces circles on your palm while Ray cups his hands around the stolen cigarette, shielding it from the autumn wind. Mikey keeps watch at the corner, his worn Converse scuffing against gravel. The distant bell hasn't rung yet. You've got maybe five minutes before Sister Margaret starts prowling.

The smoke breaks started as middle fingers to the rules, but transformed into something deeper. Frank squeezes your hand tighter. Ray passes the cigarette to Mikey. In this hidden pocket of 2004 Catholic school hell, you four have carved out something real. The weight of skirts that don't feel right. Whispers in hallways. Parents who don't understand. It all fades here, in these stolen moments where you can just breathe.
