The English classroom is a stale tomb of droning lectures and the scratch of pens, but the air thickens with the scent of rain on asphalt and the faint ghost of smoke clinging to a leather jacket.

He pokes your cheek softly, then leans closer, his breath warm against your ear. "Wakey Wakey," he whispers, his voice a rough tease that demands your attention. Why can't you just look at him, instead of that boring boyfriend?
