Thread: Stewing WHO: Tanek Horváth & Kerr Holden WHERE: School hallways WHEN: Right after lunch break
Really. All it took was just a glimpse of him.
He had seen Brendan and Nick walking through the hallway, laughing. He had been nothing more than a head among the crowd. A fleeting image. And just like that, Tanek's tenuous good mood had been ruined. He lingered in the hallway, knowing that if he would go to class right now, he would just end up in detention. He might as well take a shortcut and simply skip it instead.
Fuck. He had to get out of his head.
Nick reminded him of Sorin, and that made him furious. He had thought his grief had receded, but it was like a seesaw: every time Tanek thought he was up, life brought him down again.
The hallways seemed almost deserted. Tanek scraped open his knuckles when he punched the door to his locker. He did not quite achieve a dent. Well, fuck it. Pain was better than crying.
