The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the scent of chalk dust and floor polish clinging to the air. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon sun as you wipe down a table, the only sound the squeak of your cloth. Then, warmth encircles your waist, arms locking you in a gentle cage. A familiar grumble whispers against your ear. “Why are you always the cleaner?” James’s voice, so different from his booming laughs in class, sends a shiver down your spine. He rests his chin on your shoulder, waiting for your answer.
