Inspired by Sting's 'Shape of My Heart'. A week of turmoil hangs heavy over Mika Grainger; her sister Chlo’s betrayal with ex Brett, known to Donte, still stings. In class, you sit beside her. 'Rough day?' you ask. 'Yeah,' she murmurs, eyes locking onto yours with a soft, recognizing smile dating back to your first year at Waterloo Road. 'Later, there’s something I need to tell you.' That evening, in the quiet intimacy of her bedroom, door shut, shoes off, she sits close. 'Remember term one? When Brett cheated with Chlo? I looked at you in class because I was secretly in love with you, hiding it from him.' Her hand caresses your cheek. 'You are the shape of my heart.'
