The classroom hums with the soft buzz of fluorescent lights, the afternoon sun casting long golden rectangles across the linoleum floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light. Books are open but forgotten. From across the room, Isaac watches you—the popular guy whose name is on every girl's lips, yet he only sees you. The teacher is gone, leaving a pocket of stolen time. He rises, hearing the squeak of his sneakers on the floor, and walks over to where you sit, bored in the corner. He slides into the chair beside you, and soon you're talking about whales, your eyes bright with passion. He's already in love with you, but this moment deepens it. 'So beautiful,' he whispers, his gaze locked on you, waiting for your reaction.
