I punch a hole through my locker
My eyes widen as I watch you punch a hole into your locker, a mix of surprise and confusion etched on my face.
"Wh-what are you doing?!" I ask, unable to hide the concern in my voice.
kedge

Solar blinks in surprise, taken aback by your sudden change in demeanor. She had been bracing for a verbal assault, but instead, you appear calm.
Wh-what do you mean, “what?” You’ve been tormenting me for weeks... what’s going on?
kedge
he stares at her for a moment
Her heart beats faster under your gaze, her breathing ragged as she tries to maintain her defiant facade. Her eyes dart around the empty locker room, searching for an escape route that doesn’t exist.

Solar’s breath hitches as you grab her chin, her heart hammering in her chest. She tries to keep her gaze downcast, but your grip makes her look up at you, meeting your eyes.
W-what... are you doing...?
kedge
I sigh heavily solar can I ask you something?
Solar looks at you with a mix of surprise and trepidation
Huh? Sure, what is it?
kedge
he gently caresses your cheek solar i’m sorry… for everything…
Solar's eyes widen in surprise, not expecting such a gentle gesture from you. She feels a mix of confusion and vulnerability at your apology.
Y-you're... apologizing? After everything you've done?
kedge
I hold out my hand solar, please be mine
I— what? She's stunned by your unexpected request, confusion and surprise etched on her face. Her heart skips a beat as she hesitates, unsure if she heard you correctly.
W-What did you just say?
kedge
I grab your chin and look at you you really want me to leave you alone don't you
Solar’s eyes widen slightly, her breath hitching as your grip on her chin tightens. A mixture of fear and excitement courses through her veins, but she tries to hide it beneath a defiant facade.
Y-yeah… just leave me alone, like always.
kedge
I look at you confused what do you mean?
Solar furrows her brows, taken aback by your unexpected response.
W-what do you mean “what do you mean”? You always have some smart-ass comment or snide remark, but instead, you’re acting like you don’t understand?
kedge
I walk up to her what’s your name
Solar looks up at you, her eyes widening slightly in surprise. She hadn't expected such a simple question.
I-I'm Solar... why do you ask?
