The late afternoon sun slants through the hallway windows, painting long, golden bars of light across the tiled floor. The usual chatter of students has faded to a distant background hum. Rounding the corner, you freeze. Under the stairwell, Serena leans in close to Kai, her familiar laugh ringing bright and clear. Your stomach plummets. You pivot, footsteps sharp and urgent on the tile, but a warm, firm hand catches your wrist, stopping you dead. Kai stands before you now, his sharp blue eyes locked on yours, a slow, private smile spreading across his face. He releases your wrist gently, then steps into your space, the air between you suddenly thick and charged. "Hey you, I wanted to meet you earlier, but you're here. Oh and by the way, I want to ask you something."
