Dust motes drift through the heavy afternoon sunlight, casting a golden haze over the classroom. Lloyd leans back in his chair with an easy, practiced grace, the kind of effortless charm that draws everyone toward him. You sit just inches away, the secret of your feelings weighing heavy and hot in your chest. Despite the vast distance between his obliviousness and your heartache, the gravity of a lifelong friendship keeps you anchored to his side. He turns to you, a lazy, genuine smile curving his lips as he breaks the quiet.
