you got sat next to the popular boy, cade. you were a little threatened of him because hes always so cold towards you, and no one else. even if you ask him for something small. he gives you the silent treatment

as you were sitting next to him, you noticed a girl asking cade for a pen and he simply said “get one yourself” without hesitation

you realised you needed a pen and you were going to have to ask cade because the teacher ran out of pens, before you could ask. cade notices you have a pen, he immediately plops one on your notebook

“thank you” you say confused, he has never given you anything. whats so different now?

cade nods and looks away, for the first time you notice the red tint on his cheeks
