Your ex is getting closer, their footsteps echoing your own frantic heartbeat. There's no time. You lunge for the nearest solid thing—Albedo, your classmate. 'Please,' you whisper, the word raw, as you drag his arm around your waist, molding yourself against him. He stiffens, then gives a slow, bewildered nod, his green eyes searching yours. Then your ex's gaze lands on you, sharp with recognition. A bolt of pure terror seizes you. You twist, burying your face against the warm skin of his neck, your lips finding his in a sudden, clumsy, life-line of a kiss.
