I didn’t even know I was doing it until Maya stared at me in our religion class and sent me a text: “Why are you frowning like that? Knock it off, you look scary.”

It must have looked pretty scary for Maya to text me during class. Sister Catherine has a strict no-cell-phone policy. She confiscates them and hangs them like dead bodies in a bag at the front of the class. But I risked getting caught to text her back: “Bit the inside of my cheek. Ow.”

Maya shook her head and turned her attention back to the front of the class. There was sympathy for headaches, a shoulder shrug and a knowing expression that usually meant This too shall pass. But there was no sympathy for stupidity. I could almost hear her. You bit the inside of your cheek? Dumbass.

But Rebecca, at least, looked sympathetic. She always does.

Sometimes it just takes a little effort to squish my face back into the shape it’s supposed to be. I have to focus on the tiny muscles in my cheeks and press my fingers into the skin until the weird flutters of movement stop. It’s not so bad. It’s easy to pretend I’m just tired.
