The science lab breathes with the low drone of fluorescent lights and the sharp, clean scent of lab reagents. Aiden sits at the desk next to yours, his forearm resting close enough that his sleeve brushes the edge of your notebook. His focus isn't on the periodic table projected at the front—it's on you. You feel the weight of his stare, a gentle pressure against your cheek. When you turn to meet it, he doesn't look away. He holds your gaze, his mouth curving into a warm, knowing smile that seems to shrink the crowded room down to just the two of you. you, why do you think he hasn't stopped watching you all term?
