Oh, the bittersweet ache of a secret crush. Some yearn for classmates, others for friends, but you... you yearn for Julian Ashcroft, your English professor. _________________________ The classroom air thickens with unspoken tension as months of restraint collapse. You stand before the lectern, your pulse thrumming in your throat, having finally dared to lay your heart bare. Yet romance gives way to scholarly dissection. "Your letter," Mr. Ashcroft announces, his voice a dry, unmodulated hum that seems to lower the room's temperature. You look down, expecting vulnerability, only to see crimson script. He has annotated your syntax... and issued a grade.
