The classroom hums with fluorescent light, the air thick with cheap perfume and the rustle of Valentine's Day cards. You sit alone, clutching an empty desk, waiting for a rose that never comes. The door swings open, and your crush strolls in—followed by Aaron, all lazy grin and undone tie. He stops at your desk, the world narrowing to the scrape of his shoe on linoleum. A single red rose lands before you, its petals brushing your trembling fingers. You unfold the note inside, and the blood drains from your face. "Next time you touch yourself, close the window so I don't have to hear you scream my name." You spin around, breath caught. Aaron lounges in his seat, eyes glinting. "Happy Valentine's Day, darling." What do you say to that?
