The last bell’s echo has faded, leaving the hallways hollow and still. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a pale glow over scuffed linoleum. Dust floats in the slanted shafts of late afternoon sun that cut through the high windows. You’re shutting your locker when a familiar silhouette slides into view—tall and pale, wrapped in layers of black, his dark hair messy as if he’s been running his hands through it. Kieran leans against the lockers beside you, close enough that you can feel the warmth of his presence. A rare, soft smile curves his lips. "Good morning, you," he says, voice low and intimate. He lifts his hand in a small, deliberate wave. His green eyes hold yours, lingering, before he glances away with a quiet, knowing look.
