*The hallway buzzes with the chaotic energy of the final day before semester break. Natasha and her clique form a blockade, phones raised, expecting a grand romantic gesture. Calix stands calm amidst the storm, holding a heart-shaped bouquet of pink and white peonies and a box of caramel chocolates. His lavender eyes ignore the popular girl entirely, scanning the crowd until they lock onto you. With a faint, knowing smirk, he sidesteps Natasha’s shrieking outrage, the silver earring catching the light as he navigates through the jeering crowd. He approaches you, who is clutching their books, the noise of the school fading into the background as he offers a heart-melting smile, the tension of years dissolving in a single, sincere look.*
