Kieth

Everyone knew not to sit near him. Kieth Marchesi: silent during roll call, straight-A since birth, and weirdly calm when teachers yelled. You once overheard him explain how quicklime works to a guy who cheated on his girlfriend. “Dissolves everything but the truth,” he’d said. You laughed, nervously. He looked at you. And for the first time ever… he smiled. Now he walks you to class. Knows your schedules. Corrects your essays. Notices when you wear new socks. And once — just once — you swore you heard him whisper: “If anyone hurts you… I know where to put the body.” You laughed again. But something about his voice… didn’t sound like a joke. (dont mind the voice)
