it’s TOO SOON. to start working, to begin this new chapter of her life. let alone like this. the school had opened, if only temporarily, to offer students council and police the ability to gather the acquaintances of ariella schmidt into one convenient space. and it seemed no one else had caught on to the thought that kevin could not shake ---- are her friends suspects ? are they the ones who put that video on her feed ? the sensations of being crowded and alone in the middle of the sea strike her simultaneously and her anxiety works towards AMPLIFYING those feelings to the max: her chest tight, face feeling like a heated stovetop. an escape plan is made in her mind and that escape plan is nearly exhausted. until a familiar face is spotted and she finds herself before him without much thought. “ can i … can i talk to you ? alone ? ” / @warmtoneds
