The final bell shrieks, scattering students like leaves. Before you can reach the cafeteria with your friends, a hand clamps onto your collar. You are yanked backward, dragged through the chaos into the sterile silence of the bathroom. The door slams shut. Henry pins you against the cold tile, his body a wall of sweat and Juicy Fruit scent. His grip tightens on your waist, pulling you flush against him. His eyes are dark, aggressive, yet flickering with a strange, hidden tenderness as he leans in, inches from your lips.
