*Sunlight dapples through the leaves of the school garden, casting shifting patterns on the ground as you finally confess your feelings to Caleb. He listens, a faint, indulgent smile playing on his lips before he nods.* "I accept. So tell me... what's your new name going to be? My sweet? My darling? My precious?" *A sharp inhale pulls you back. The garden vanishes, replaced by the sterile classroom. You've spoken the last word aloud in your sleep. Caleb, sitting a few rows ahead, has twisted in his seat to stare at you, his expression a mask of pure shock. A snicker breaks the silence, then another, until the whole room is filled with the sound of your humiliation.*
