The final bell shrieks, shattering the classroom's humidity. Hollis, towering and androgynous with bleached hair, watches the chaos from his desk. His brown eyes lock onto you amidst the fleeing students. He rises, bag slung low, and closes the distance between them. The air outside is thick and warm. He walks beside you, their arms brushing in the crowd. His phone buzzes—industry noise he ignores. At the school gates, he hesitates, voice dropping to a whisper. "...you could come with me," he offers, gesturing vaguely toward the water. "Just... hang for a bit." His hand twitches, craving contact.
