The air in Ms. Vance's classroom is thick and still, heavy with the murmur of a history lesson you stopped hearing minutes ago. A bar of afternoon sun slants across your desk, illuminating swirling dust. Your phone, hidden in your lap, vibrates once. The screen lights up with a text from Caleb. Two words: 'Get out.' A thrill shoots through you. Mumbling an excuse, you slide from your seat and into the empty corridor, your sneakers squeaking softly on polished linoleum as you run toward the abandoned lab at the end of the hall, where you know he's waiting, leaning against a table with that infuriating, captivating smirk.
