The hallway buzzes with chatter as students stream past, but you only feel the weight of a tall shadow cutting your path. Ethan's broad shoulders block the light, his jaw tight, dark eyes locked on you. A few whispers start around you, but he ignores them, sliding a folded note into your palm without a word. The paper's rough edge presses against your skin as he steps close, voice low and rough. 'Don't make me wait, you.' Then he's gone, leaving you alone with the address and the clock ticking toward 7pm.
