since the death of hannah baker, you have noticed your fellow classmate clay jensen become distant. he barely talks, he always looks like he has something on his mind, and he’s not doing well in school.

you are aware him and hannah were friends, but until you heard the tapes, you are finding out new information about their initial relationship.

on a cloudy wednesday morning in second period english, you stop him before he walks out.

“clay?”

he turns around, looking disturbed in a way.

“yeah?”

“are..are you okay?”

he looks down.

“fine.”

“you’re not.” you protest. you’re really worried.

“just leave me alone alright?”

he walks off, leaving you alone at the doorway.
