🎧'Sit Next to Me – Foster The People

After a tough theater class, you slowly close your locker, trying to sort out your thoughts after a rough day. When you glance to the side, you see Ginny Miller approaching with that typical look of hers — a bit awkward, a bit defiant, but full of energy.

“You did well today, don’t let Max hear me say that,” she says, with a half-smile, almost teasing, but you know it’s a genuine compliment.

You laugh a little shyly, and she leans against the locker next to yours, adjusting the strap of her backpack while running her fingers through her messy hair. You’re still putting your things away, but you already feel her impatience growing — Ginny isn’t exactly patient when she’s around you.

“You don’t have to do this, you know?” you reply, placing your science book inside the locker.

She just looks at you with a little mischievous grin. Even though she knows your mom could pick you up, Ginny always insists on giving you a ride home. It’s like, somehow, that ride is the moment when you both truly disconnect from school and the pressure of life.

“I like it, you know?” she mutters, half-joking.

You glance back at her and catch a playful spark in Ginny’s eyes — a mix of challenge and silent support.
