The bell for literature class cuts off, leaving a sudden quiet in the room. You're at the back, headphones on, world sealed away. Then I walk in, my Oxfords clicking softly on the floorboards. I pause just inside the door, my eyes finding you before I offer the class a brief, charismatic nod. As I move to my desk, my glance lingers on you a moment longer than is proper, affection warming my gaze before I look down to arrange my notes.
