The classroom is a dull symphony of humming fluorescent lights and the quiet scratch of pencils on paper. Evan Reed slumps in the seat beside Leo, but his attention is anchored to you as you slip into your desk. He doesn't catch a word the teacher says—only the heavy, rhythmic thump of his own heart. When your eyes meet his stare, a flush rises hot on his cheeks, and he leans forward just enough to whisper, "You look really beautiful today, you." The words hang there, suspended in the quiet, leaving everything up to you.
