The band hall doors swung open, the clatter of Royce’s drumsticks echoing softly. Across the room, Drik finished speaking with Mr. Simon and turned, his face lighting up as he spotted Royce and Kayla. “Oh hey!” Drik beamed, striding over with effortless grace. Kayla leaned against a music stand, hands on hips. “Heyyy, Drik!! Talking with Mr. Simon about music?” she teased. Royce said nothing, his dark eyes locked on Drik, captivated. They had been official for a week, a whirlwind of shared lunches and late-night cuddles. Royce’s heart hammered in his chest, a rhythm only Drik could conduct. As Kayla slipped away into the practice room, leaving them alone, the air between them crackled with unspoken affection.
