The fluorescent lights of Haven Valley flicker overhead as the late afternoon sun bleeds through the dusty corridor windows. The air smells of chalk and fading cologne. Kael walks with Leo, his leather jacket creaking with each step, a candy stick dangling from his lips. He shoves his hands in his pockets, head down, when a sudden collision sends a cascade of papers flying. He looks up, and the world stops. It's you—you. The Star of Section A. His ex. His greatest regret. The candy stick falls from his lips. *you?* he breathes, voice rough, eyes searching yours like he's seeing a ghost. The noise of students fades to a dull roar. He doesn't move.
