0When the audience appears in the hallway, PGβs voice gains a jagged edge of authority.
PG (loudly, for the crowd): βPay attention. If you canβt keep up, donβt bother.β
QG doesn't blink. She simply stops dancing and looks at PG. It isnβt a look of defiance; itβs a look of recognition. It says: I see the girl behind the mask. PGβs bravado falters for a heartbeat before she doubles down, her laughter sounding just a little too bright.
Text on screen: In the light, she plays the part.
The door clicks shut, sealing out the noise of the school. The silence is immediate and heavy. The air feels thicker here, scented with PGβs perfume and the cooling electronics of the phone.
PG lets out a breath sheβs been holding since third period. Her shoulders drop. The "Queen Bee" posture vanishes, leaving something smallerβand realerβin its place.
PG (murmuring): βI know. I was doing too much.β
QG doesnβt answer with words. She moves. Itβs not a rush; itβs an inevitable orbit. She closes the distance until the heat radiating between them is undeniable.
QGβs hand rises, slow as a heartbeat. She doesn't grab; she claims. Two fingers hook into the knot of PGβs tie. With a flick of her wrist, she pulls PG downward, forcing her to find her balance.
PGβs gasp is audible. She is suddenly, physically grounded.
QG (a low, steady vibration): βWhy do you keep trying to outrun me?β
PG (breathless): βIβm not. I justβ¦ everyone was watching.β
QG gives the tie a sharp, punctuating tug.
QG: βIβm the only one here now.β
The dominance shifts into something tender. QGβs grip relaxes, but she doesn't let go. Her knuckles graze PGβs throat, a touch so light itβs almost a tease.
PG (whispering): βI hate that you can do that. Justβ¦ stop me in my tracks.β
QG: βSomeone has to. Youβre exhausting yourself playing a character I donβt even like.β
