Drowning in You 60 - Actual Fruit
I didn't sleep. I lay on my back on the gym mat and listened to the sound of forty people breathing in the dark. Leo was three feet away, curled on his side, his back to me. His shoulders rose and fell in a rhythm that was too even to be sleep. He was faking it. He knew that I knew he was faking it. We both lay there pretending for about four hours. Around what might have been three in the morning, I got up. I stepped over two freshmen and a girl I didn't know and made my way to the north edge of the roof, where Miller had stacked the newcomers' bags. Sterling was asleep in a camp chair with his tailored jacket folded over his lap, which was the most offensive thing I had seen on this roof so far. The woman who had come in with him, the one with the sharp eyes, was awake. She watched me walk past. She didn't say anything. I crouched by one of the newcomer bags, the smaller one, and opened the zipper slowly. There was fruit inside. Actual fruit. Three oranges, two apples, a small

CALLUM'S POV________The dragging sound came again. Slow, heavy, something sliding against the inside of the building two floors below us. Then a pause. Then one more pull. Then nothing.I didn't let go of Leo's hand. I kept my grip on his fingers and my eyes on the black water lapping against the brickwork. Sushi was still rigid against his throat, ears flat, her tail puffed to twice its normal size. I had never seen the cat do that. The cat loved everything. The cat loved me, which was proof enough of her poor judgment, but she had always loved me. She did not love whatever was down there."Callum," Leo whispered. His voice had gone very small."I know.""Is it a person ?""It's not a person.""How do you know.""A person would be yelling."He went quiet. I could feel his pulse through the back of his hand. He was shaking a little, in that controlled way he had, where he tried to keep it in his fingers so no one else could see. I wanted to pull him into my chest and hold him there
Drowning in You 58 - Explaining a Math Problem
I stepped over his legs and kept walking up the stairs. My heart was doing something fast and ugly in my chest, but my hands were steady. I pushed my glasses up my nose with one finger as I pushed through the door onto the roof. Callum was waiting at the top of the stairs. He had been leaning against the wall, and he straightened up when he saw me. The twitch in his cheek was gone. he looked tired. His blue eyes were doing that searching thing they did sometimes, when he thought I wasn't looking. "What did she want," he said. Not a question. "Who." "Don't." I pushed past him. He followed. We ended up at the far corner of the roof, near the vent stacks, where the wind made it hard for anyone to overhear. He didn't touch me. He kept a careful foot of space between us. That restraint from him, from Callum of all people, felt louder than anything he could have shouted. "She wanted to check on me," I said. "That was the official version." "And the real one." "She told me to ask y
Drowning in You 57 - Rough Night
Phoebe's smile didn't move, but something behind it did. A small, cold thing. She recovered in less than a second. "I'm just worried about you, Leo. That's all. You're the kind of person who takes care of everyone else, and nobody takes care of you. I've seen you give away your own food three times this week. Three times. And meanwhile he's sitting over there eating his full ration and making the rest of us feel like he's doing us a favor by being here." "He dives into collapsing buildings for us." "Of course he does. It makes him feel like a hero. That's the problem." I pushed my glasses up my nose. I could feel the back of my neck going hot, that specific kind of hot that happened when I knew someone was lying to me and I couldn't quite catch the shape of the lie yet. "Why are you telling me this Phoebe?" "Because I don't want you to get hurt." "We had a deal. The deal is off. You don't owe me anything." "This isn't about the deal." "Then what's it about?" She looked at me
Drowning in You 56 - Nobody Will
Bea raised her hands in surrender, but her smile stayed. I looked away from both of them, toward the far end of the roof where Callum was crouched next to Miller, pointing at something on a clipboard. His hair was catching the gray light, and he had rolled his sleeves up to his elbows. I could see the faint pink marks on his forearm where I had gripped him too hard the night before. He looked up as if he could feel me watching, and our eyes caught across the roof. He didn't smile. He just held my gaze for one long second and then turned back to the clipboard. I folded my shoulders inward. Th e memory of what he had whispered in the dark was pressing against my ribs, and I didn't know what to do with it. {I used to watch you swim. Years ago.} It was supposed to feel like a confession. It felt like a confession. But something about the daylight made it look different, the way a dream can turn ugly once you say it out loud over breakfast. "Hey, hero." Phoebe's voice slid into the s
Drowning in You 55 - Cold
LEO'S POV ___Nobody slept after the body stopped twitching. We stood in a loose, broken ring around the dead man, watching the black fluid pool beneath his cheek and spread toward a crack in the concrete. The storm had rolled past us during the chaos, leaving behind a pale, bruised dawn that made everything look worse. The light hit the dead man's face and showed the webbing of purple veins under his skin, a map of something I had never seen before and never wanted to see again.Coach Miller was the first to move. He grabbed a tarp from the supply pile and threw it over the body in one quick motion, as if hiding it from view could undo what we had all just watched happen."Everyone back to the shelter zones," Miller said. His voice was low and tight. "Nobody touches the body. Nobody touches the fluid. We burn the tarp when we figure out how."Nobody moved. People just stood there, their faces slack, their mouths half open. A girl near the front was crying without sound, tears carvin
