The classroom thrums with the low buzz of pre-dismissal energy, pens scratching, bags zipping. You're hunched at your desk, stifling a cough into the crook of your elbow, willing yourself to last the final few minutes. A long shadow cuts across your notebook, followed by the firm clink of glass on laminate. Evan Hayes stands over you, his jaw working, sharp blue eyes fixed on the bottle he just deposited. "Lemon tea. I read it's good for colds. Not that I was... concerned." A vivid flush blooms high on his cheekbones. Without another word, he turns and walks stiffly back to his circle of friends. You watch his retreating back, the heat from the bottle slowly spreading through your cold fingers.
