I lay on the cots, waiting for the lights to go off. Lynne is already sleeping next to me, but I can tell by his breathing that Maxwell is still awake. No food had come today, so hunger pain nips at the inside of my stomach.

Lying with one hand stuffed under my new pillow and the other resting on my stomach, feeling it rise and fall, I think about the day, like what had rolled out after Lynne and I finished playing our game on the floor. Maxwell and I had avoided each other as best as we could. It was like a silent battle. During the long hours of silence, besides Lynne’s squeaky, little voice, I struggled to keep my eyes off him. All because of the kiss.

Why did you do it, Maxwell? What were you thinking? I want to ask him.

The sound of feet hitting heavily against the floor above us sounds throughout the silent room. Under my breath, I count down from ten like Maxwell had done when Lynne and I first arrived. Then, I near the end. “Three . . . Two . . . One.”

The lights flicker out.
