White Noises

After talking to Dr. Yates, I went to go eat dinner. I got mac and cheese and went to sit next to Baylen. He didn't have anything to eat, and he was just sitting there.

"Hi."

Baylen looked up. "Hey."

"Not hungry?"

Baylen turned bright red. "No."

I sat down. "Ok."

We finished the meal in silence, and went back to our room.

Cyan was waiting for me when I walked in. "Adryan!"

What do you want?

"I'm sorry I wasn't around earlier. I hear Yates didn't believe that I told you about his affair."

You heard right.

"What an asshole."

I plopped down onto my bed. It was eight thirty, so I figured it wasn't too early to go to bed.

Baylen was sitting on his bed, reading a pamphlet.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Hmm? Oh, this? Nothing."

I frowned. Why was Baylen so talkative earlier and so closed up now?

"I'm gonna get ready for bed."

"Ok."

"Talk to you in the morning."

"Ok."
