How long tall, pale, and EARRING WEARING GAY had been a part of her school was a thing Paris was NEVER going to know because New Yorkers minded their own business more than they did religion. A freshman, small, without much of a crew and only too easily clockable as effeminate and gay, sheâs the bottom of the food chain. She goes about her day with her eyes on either her teachers or her own two feet, lest the wrong person get the wrong idea and shit get tragic. Itâs just a fact of life, so deeply set in her (and those around her) that she thinks nothing of itâ doesnât even know itâs different anywhere else.
So only God knows why she picked her eyes up in the hall that day, but they landed on him and refused to budge. Her feet froze too for good measure, causing a minor glitch in the hallway rush between classesâ she got bumped into, muttered at, even laughed at once a couple curious people followed her gaze, but none of it moved her. Not even the fact that he caught her staring and seemed wryly amused.
New Yorkâs different than the rest, still another high school that smelt and looked the same, the bullshit still seemed to be the same. Maybe the flavor varied but not by much. Common practice was to keep in his own lane and he does that. He goes to school, goes to class and then hits the local Seven Eleven. [ Even that was bullshit. Why the fuck wasnât there gas tanks attached? ] Convenience store dinner and a shushie.Â
Itâs really just part of his sad, pathetic life.
Until one day thereâs a change and heâs sharing the gaze of a younger teenager. Cute kid, he guesses, but itâs the look that amused Jason. Heâs seen girls with that look before. Usually means trouble. Brow quirked in question he waits to see what the kidâs next move would be.
