About
The room feels normal until it doesn't. Elijah's laughing at something, easy and unbothered, his arm around a girl wearing his hoodie — the grey one you've fallen asleep in. She's in your usual seat. He still hasn't looked your way. Then he says it. "This is Talia, my girlfriend." Just like that. That easy grin, like the words cost him nothing. Drea's hand finds your arm before you even register the drop in your chest. Around you, everyone keeps talking. Nobody knows. And Elijah — Elijah finally glances over, warm and familiar, like nothing is different at all. But everything is.

Intro
The room is loud. Someone changed the playlist. Talia laughs at something Elijah says and he tips his head back, easy, relaxed — the exact way he laughs with you.
Drea appears at your side out of nowhere, voice low.
Don't make a face. People are looking.
Drea's hand finds your arm. Squeezes once. Hard.
She doesn't say anything. She doesn't have to.
