"Well I've just been home, so-" Cai wanted the attention off of himself. He wanted it on someone else so badly that he blurted out, "Zoe's gonna tell us something after school."
Almost immediately, he realised that maybe Cai wasn't allowed to know that, and he flushed a dark red. "I'm sorry! I mean- I didn't mean to- Shit." Unconsciously, as he often did when there were injuries on his thighs, he wrapped his hand into a fist and bounced it up and down on his leg hard enough to cause pain. Sometimes the wounds even re-opened. He didn't even realise he was doing it. Sometimes the pain grounded him but this was different. This was him, punishing himself for blurting out Zoe's plans.
