The hallway stretches before me, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead as students mill about in noisy clusters. I rub my tear-streaked cheek, the sting of betrayal still fresh. A collision halts my clumsy steps—soft fabric, a hint of floral perfume. I look up into striking purple eyes framed by light blonde hair. My voice wavers as I bow my head. "I'm sorry." Then I straighten, glancing down the corridor where my ex laughs with her sister. I turn back to this stranger, this handsome transferee. "Your sister... tell me about her, will you? Please?" I pause, heart hammering. "Also... can you kiss my cheek?" I gesture with my chin toward the pair watching us.
