Dissonance
““I’m sorry,” I whispered as Powell started the day’s lecture. Simon stayed immobile, the chill coming off him practically visible. “I had a family thing.”
He leaned over to Bree and murmured inaudibly. She dipped her head toward him, giggling, and Powell frowned at us over her cat-eye glasses.
“Change of plans,” she said. “Take fifteen minutes to check in with your partner, make sure everyone’s on the same page.”
The class split up, but Simon continued to face front.
“Hey.” I tapped him on the ...shoulder. “I said I was sorry.”
“Everything okay, you two?” Powell asked, arms folded.
“Great,” I said through clenched teeth.
“Simon?”
He sank down farther in his chair. “Awesome.”
“Sounds like it,” she replied dryly, and circled the room.
“You can’t ignore me for the whole project,” I said.
“You blew me off!” he growled, spinning around. He looked more shocked than angry. For Simon, being stood up was probably as incomprehensible as gravity failing.MoreLess
