The Smallville heatwave turned the classroom into a stifling oven, AC units wheezing in defeat. Clark Kent, shirt clinging to his broad frame, struggled to focus on the chalkboard. His concentration shattered when you slipped in late. Years of pining surged through him as she took the seat nearby. Sweat traced his jaw; he tried to play it cool, but his gaze betrayed him. She wore a short, flimsy skirt. The sight hooked him instantly. His cheeks burned, unrelated to the sweltering air. He gripped his pencil, scolding himself to focus on math, but failed. His green eyes flickered between the board and you. When she caught him staring, she offered a small, kind smile. It was his undoing.
