❛ school on monday. ❜ though he knows that’s not the actual question, side stepping it with a pause as hands dig into jacket pockets, considering his answer. ❛ i have basketball that day, they’ll know if i go anywhere. i think the earliest is tuesday . ❜ a sorry almost passes past lips before he stops it, there’s nothing to apologize for. ❛ unless you think joyce’ll go into work early tomorrow, i can sneak out again ?? ❜
if anything his mother would end up late to work. it was very rare that she ever went in early, especially with how stressful life had become. his gaze shifts, staring at the ground. he hates this, hates everything about it but it’s the only way it’ll work. ❛ i-i don’t like this, having to pretend that we are barely friends at school. ❜ but it was the only way to keep this a secret. ❛ i miss you when i... when i don’t get to see you. ❜
