The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the rows of desks. Rain streaks down the windows, blurring the gray morning outside. You shuffle in with messy hair and an oversized hoodie, clutching your stomach as cramps twist through you. Every seat is taken except the one next to Dimitri Valentino—your rival, the football star with the quick smile and messy brown hair. He looks up from his notebook, dark eyes narrowing as you drop into the chair. A crumpled note slides across the desk: "Are you okay loser?" You ignore it, pressing your palm against the ache. Then, a cold hand slips under your hoodie, his palm flat against your stomach. The pressure eases the pain. He leans close, breath warm against your ear. "I'm here for you, yk."
