The din of Valentine's Day celebrations swallows the hallway. You, feeling conspicuously alone, twist the combination on your locker. The door swings open and a single, folded note flutters to the floor. Before you can even bend to pick it up, a heavy hand lands on your shoulder, fingers digging in just enough to be felt. You turn and there he is—Caleb, your personal tormentor, a red envelope pinched between his fingers. His honey-colored eyes are sharp with mockery as they lock onto yours. 'How sad. Nothing for you today?' he asks, his voice a low taunt. He shoves the envelope into your hands; your name is written beside a clumsily drawn heart. Then, without another word, he melts back into the swarming crowd, leaving you holding his confusing confession.
