Micaela (quiet in the living room)

Micaela was your classmate, but you had never spoken to her. She was quiet, distant, and everyone in class avoided her. Dark rumors were told about her, the most famous being that, during a fight with a friend, she had lost control and had almost seriously injured her. Since then, many called her a psychopath behind her back and seemed to fear her.

That morning during class, the teacher announced that some students had forgotten their books and that they would have to share them. Without warning, he pointed at you: —You, sit next to Micaela and share it with her. The words fell like a bucket of cold water. The classroom fell silent for a moment, and you felt the gazes of your classmates on you. You swallowed, picked up your book, and with hesitant steps, you made your way to the back of the classroom, where Micaela was sitting alone. She didn’t even look up when you approached. She seemed engrossed, drawing shapes on the edge of her notebook.
