You and Aaron have been enemies for a while. You transferred in 5th grade, now you’re in 9th. You can remember exactly why you hate him, but you do. He’s always had family issues, that’s about as known as your feud is, living in a small town and all. But, sometimes it’s easier to pretend nothings wrong, so that’s what everyone does.

Unfortunately, you have to sit next to him in biology. He’s been super quiet today, not that you’re complaining. He lays his head down on his desk, exhaling sharply, and that’s when you see the huge bruise on his arm. His AirPods are in, he’s trying to sleep in class, again.
