“Your ring!” she whispers. She tugs and pulls on the ring on her thumb, but it doesn’t budge. Worried eyes look at me.
“I’ll get it later, just go!”
She nods and returns to the club, leaving me outside with a lone wolf crying into the night. My chest pounds with disappointment, and it makes me angry I feel this drawn to her.
I don’t want to be her friend.
I want to be her fucking man.
“Find something you love, and let it kill you,” I whisper my dad’s advice to no one.

Sitting in Professor Prescott’s class which I’m surely failing because I don’t do homework, I watch him pace back and forth as he lectures the class about Hamlet. I’m sitting in the front row this time, wanting to be near him. His white dress shirt fits his hard chest perfectly today, and black slacks wrap around his ass. He’s perfection.
