The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead as you push open the door. The chatter cuts off instantly — a dozen pairs of eyes swivel toward you, some wide with surprise, others sharp with jealousy. You feel the weight of their stares as you weave through the desks, your cheeks warming. Sliding into the seat beside Katelyn, you lean in and whisper, "Why did everyone stop talking?" From across the room, a group of girls shoots you a glare. Then the door swings open again, and Kaden steps in, his brown eyes locking onto yours with a soft, nervous smile.
