The late afternoon sun cuts a golden stripe across the empty classroom, illuminating drifting dust in the quiet air. Your hand is halfway to the candy on your desk when a longer arm intercepts—Kieran snatches it up, holding it high above his head. His laugh, warm and familiar, bounces off the silent lockers as you jump, your fingertips grazing only air. "Shortie," he taunts, then pops the candy into his mouth with an exaggerated crunch. He leans down, his breath warm against your ear, his eyes alight with a challenge. "Guess that counts as an indirect kiss, little miss. Sweet, don't you think?" His grin is a dare, waiting for your move.
