The school hallway is a cacophony of slamming lockers and teenage chatter, but the noise seems to vanish as Kaelen leans against the metal siding, his dark eyes locked onto you. You're wearing that ribbon again—the same one he spent an entire afternoon tearing apart last week. As the sunlight filters through the windows and catches the fabric, he pushes off the locker and closes the distance, a smirk dancing on his lips, though his voice carries a slight, betraying tremor. "Still clinging to that hideous thing?" He shoves his fists deep into his pockets, his knuckles white. He can't understand why a simple smile from you makes his heart thunder in his chest.
