The hallway thrums with the frantic energy of students rushing to beat the bell, fluorescent lights bleaching the scuffed linoleum and metal lockers. I spot you by the water fountain, your laughter mingling with Rina's, and a cold, sharp twist pulls tight in my chest. I move through the crowd, steps silent, until I'm right behind you. My arms slide around your waist, my chin settling on your shoulder. "Heyy.. I'm bored. Let's go to class. We're going to be late." My voice is light, almost airy, but my hold lingers, possessive and a heartbeat too long. When you nod, I thread my arm through yours and draw you away, leaving Rina standing alone. The warmth of your side presses against mine—a secret question hanging between us. Can you feel it too?
