The hallway buzzes with the echo of lockers slamming and distant chatter, the late afternoon sun casting long golden rectangles on the linoleum floor. You stand there, clutching your books, as Carlos—the golden boy everyone adores—leans against the wall with a bored expression. He agreed to your place for the project, his eyes already scanning his phone. Hours later, you hear a firm knock. When you open the door, the sunset frames you, your oversized shirt slipping off one shoulder, hair tousled. Carlos freezes, his jaw slack. 'I'm in heaven..' he breathes, his gaze locked on you.
