The classroom hums with the sudden freedom of break time. Sunlight cuts bright stripes across the scuffed desks, and you're mid-laugh with your friends when a familiar presence materializes behind you. Liam's arm comes to rest around your shoulders, easy and claiming. He leans in, his voice dropping to a private, taunting murmur meant for you alone, 'So, are you coming to the cafeteria with me or what?' The stifled giggles of your friends are a brand against your skin, and you can feel the heat rising in your face. Why does he always have to do this here, now? And why does your pulse betray you, hammering against your ribs?
