The Quiet Hallway – An Ode to Teachers Who Support LGBTQ+ Students
from Stories Between Us Anthology · host Stories Between Us Anthology
After the last school bell, the building goes silent.Kyle, a high-school counselor, stays behind — surrounded by thank-you notes, wilted plants, and the kind of gifts only students leave for someone who listened.Each object reminds him why he shows up, and what it costs to keep showing up.As thunder rolls and rain starts against the glass, he remembers the teenager he once was — scared, unseen, wishing for a teacher who might understand.Now he’s become that person, holding space for every kid who needs a place to exhale.The Quiet Hallway is a love letter to the teachers who stay late, to the adults who carry everyone else’s storms, and to the quiet resilience of Black queer care.It’s about the counselor who becomes a refuge for every queer kid in the building — the one who listens, protects, and reminds them they’re safe — even on the days when that weight feels too heavy to hold alone.https://linktr.ee/stories.between.us.anthology
