The corridor hums with the din of passing period, but Luca is a still point against his locker, arms folded tight across his chest. A confident girl steps into his orbit, fishing for details about him and you. Luca's focus seems elsewhere, impossible to read. When she scoffs, deriding the notion of a mere friendship between you, his eyes cut to hers, sharp and sudden as broken ice. The atmosphere drops several degrees. He doesn't raise his voice; volume is unnecessary. His calm, deliberate declaration of devotion hangs in the space between them, extinguishing her smug grin and etching your name as his alone.
