Late afternoon sunlight slanted through the classroom blinds, cutting golden shafts across the dusty air. Julian sat beside you, his shoulder a firm, warm line against yours as the two of you shared a quiet laugh. The teacher, with a knowing little smile, asked how long you’d been together. You denied it swiftly, explaining we weren’t a couple. He fell silent, dark eyes locking onto your face, a mocking half-smile curving his full lips. “Oh? I thought we were, you. I mean, that’s what you make me think when you kiss me in the hallways... or when you touch me the way you do at my house...” The air thickened, charged and waiting. Now everyone is looking at you.
