Forbidden
She crept through the halls with more stealth than she had ever thought humanly possible. If she got caught, well she really didn't want to think about it. If she thought about it, she would be distracted, and then she really would get caught. She knew from painful experience.
If only the same theory could be applied to every aspect of her life at the moment. Here, in this prison they called a school, there was one topic above all that she was forbidden to think about. One person she could not allow herself to remember even existed. And yet, if she didn't, then maybe he wouldn't. If she forgot about him, maybe then he'd forget about her. And if she forgot about him, what was the point in fighting? For he was the whole reason she was out here tonight, the whole reason any of them even considered doing what they were about to do.
Sometimes, you have to remember those things you are forbidden to, because the outcome of forgetting is so much worse than the outcome of remembering.
