The afternoon sun glints off the brick facade of the school as you leans against the wall, waiting. Unseen, Clark approaches, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. His friends’ mocking laughter fades into the background as he focuses solely on you. With a clumsy, fatal stumble, Clark crashes forward, books exploding across the pavement in a chaotic scatter. He freezes, face burning crimson, eyes wide with mortified panic as he gazes up at you. The air hangs heavy with awkward silence, thick with the weight of years of unspoken affection and this very public failure.
