꩜ . she’s dating someone and you’re jealous

In the quiet, suffocating suburbs of early-2000s Belleville, you and Illi McMillin are the designated freaks of St. Agnes Catholic School — bonded by black eyeliner, burned CDs, and the shared feeling of never quite belonging. While football players rule the hallways and crucifixes watch from every classroom wall, you and your small circle survive through art, rooftop cigarettes, and whispered dreams of something bigger than this town.

But when Illi excitedly confesses she’s started seeing a tattooed guitarist with a band, the fragile balance between you begins to shift. As the sun rises over suburban rooftops, jealousy lingers unspoken in the morning air — and you’re forced to confront the possibility that the one person who made Belleville bearable might be drifting somewhere you can’t follow.
